The ratio of effective length to radius of gyration.

What is difference between crushing and buckling ?

Md Sajjad Hussain said:   1 decade ago
Crushing means failure occurs due to sudden loads while buckling is lateral deflections caused in long columns.

What is Euler's formula?

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.

Pradeep sai siva aremanda said:   1 decade ago
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?

K.aravind said:   1 decade ago
Euler has formulated the formula for those columns which fail by both crushing as well as buckling. But short columns fail only by crushing so only long columns obey eulers formula.

Tell me Eulers formula?

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