SOLUTION:-

  Timoshenko method to Estimate the

critical load for tie pin-ended strut:

  Consider the axially loaded strut

subjected to the crippling load Pe , producing a deflection y at a
distance
x from one end. Assume that the ends are either pin
jointed or rounded so that there is no moment at
either end.

Bending moment at C = EI d2y/dx2=

−pey

we get, EI d2y/dx2 + pey =

0

At the point x=0, y=0 ,  A= 0 and at x=L, y=0

= BsinL√ peEI = 0, B = 0 then y = 0 and the strut has

no buckled. Thus the solution is, sinL√ peEI = 0 ,

∴ L√ pe EI = π.

For a column with pinned ends, we have the following conditions

are as follows: 1. Force P that is applied
through
the centroid of the cross section and aligned with the longitudinal
axis of the column. 2. Force P is
guided such that P is always
aligned with the pin joints.

Buckling is therefore the result of imperfections that prevent

the load from being applied perfectly axially,
from eccentric
loading and lack of initial straightness.A structural material is
mild steel. It has been found
from tests on mild-steel pin-ended
struts that failure of an initially curved member takes place when
the
yield stress is first attained in one of the extreme
fibres.

The combined effects of these imperfections on overall buckling

behaviour is predictable when long struts
are to operate under
elastic conditions.The function is 𝑣 = 𝐴sin 𝜋𝑥/L and the exact
solution is 𝜋2𝐸𝐼 /𝐿2 ≅
9.8696 𝐿2.
From a wide range of tests Robertson concluded that the failing
loads of mild-steel struts could
be estimated if efficiency is
taken to be proportional to (L/L) the slenderness
ratio of the strut is taken as

Then we getting as, d2y/dx2 +

k2y =(-V/EI)x.

A is the cross sectional area, L is the unsupported length of

the column, r is the radius of gyration of the
cross section, and E
is the elastic modulus of the material. K is the effective length
factor, and accounts for
the end conditions of the column.

The function is 𝑣 = 𝐴sin 𝜋𝑥/L and the exact solution is

𝜋2𝐸𝐼 /𝐿2 ≅ 9.8696 𝐿2.The upper
half of the column is
identical to the lower half of the column
therefore portion must be symmetric about its midpoint.

Equating the equation symmetric about its midpoint to Euler’s

equation we have:
 π2EI/Le2= 20.19
EI/L2 = and Le = 0.69L ≈ 0.7L.

which exceeds three times the least
