Conclusions of Euler buckling analysis:
Strut can remain straight for all values of P
When P = P
cr
the strut buckles in the shape
of a half sine wave
At higher values of loads, other sinusoidal
buckled shapes are possible. It is seen that
for for higher values of P
cr
, the column is in
unstable equilibrium.

BUCKLING MODES
In general there are 3 buckling loads, i.e. Euler
buckling about x and y axes and flexural
torsional buckling loads
Doubly symmetric section
Buckling about x and y axes (One of
these is lowest)
Flexural torsional buckling load (we
disregard this)
