The free buckling length l K is calculated using the present Euler case. There are 4 idealized clamping conditions. In most cases, case 2 can be accepted.60

Eqn. 1
\require{color}\definecolor{myred}{RGB}{255,0,0} l_{\color{myred}K1}=2\cdot l

Eqn. 3
\require{color}\definecolor{myred}{RGB}{255,0,0} l_{\color{myred}K3}=\frac l{\sqrt2}
Eqn. 4

Free buckling length

Ex. I The support length between two surfaces is 100 mm. Depending on the clamping condition, this results in a calculated free buckling length of

  • Euler case 1 200 mm
  • Euler case 2 100 mm
  • Euler case 3 71 mm
  • Euler case 4 50 mm
