Buckling of columns
These are the hand written notes for Bucking of columns/Euler's theory for Statics @ Design Analysis for Engineering, 3rd Year.
The following is a very good report I have used as a sample to help me with my Buckling Report. This is something that exists freely online, I am not claiming this as my own work, neither am I getting this information fraudulently from somewhere else.

After grading I shall try and post my work as well, but I consider this to be a better example.

BUCKLING OF A COLUMN
Objective
The primary purpose of this experiment is to verify the critical load for buckling, relationship among the bending-moment and deflections, for different end conditions when a rectangular beam is subjected to axial loading.
Theory
A column is a member subjected to axial compressive forces. When a column is concentrically loaded, it is expected to reach its yield stress. But usually prior to yielding, when the force in the column reaches a certain value, it buckles. This force is known as the buckling load or the critical load. The end conditions of a column significantly influence the buckled shape, which can be used to compute the buckling load.
For a prismatic elastic member, the buckling load is given by the following relationship.
where:
KL = effective length of the column
I = Moment of inertia about the minor axis
(1)
I = bt3/12 (2)
The values of K for different end conditions are shown.
Note : Care should be taken to align the column such that it is
