Euler has given formula for buckling load alone, so in case of short column buckling failure is not applicable. Hence it suits only long columns.

Radius of gyration we can define the square root of mass moment of inertia and mass of the body.

Sanjay said:   1 decade ago
What is the radius of gyration? Please tell me.

Euler's formula is mainly applied in the long pumps for fluid.

Euler's formula in fluid mechanics and hydraulic mechanics.

What's effective length and radius of gyration as in literally what does it signify?

Santhosh said:   1 decade ago
Tell me Eulers formula?

Sandip ray said:   1 decade ago
Slenderness ratio = L/K.

L = Effective length.
k = radius of gyration.

Euler's formulae is meant to calculate critical load(the load at which column bends(buckling)) of long column's(only).

Euler's formulae for critical load is = ((pi)^2)EI/(le)^2.

Where 'le' is equivalent length based on boundary conditions of column
IF both ends of column are hinged le=l.
fixed le=l/2.

If one is fixed and other end is free then le=2l.
If one end is fixed other end is hinged then le=l/(2)^1/2.

In Which application Euler's formula applied?

Pravukalyan said:   1 decade ago
Euler's formula i.e. critical stress is inversely proportional to length of column. Hence larger the length lesser will be the defined critical stress.
