SS-V: 1150 Buckling

Test No. VS16 Find the critical compression load at which the cantilever beam buckles.

Definition

Dimensions: L = 1000 mm, b = 20 mm, h = 20 mm

Where,

The material properties are:

The following table summarizes the critical load.

	Reference KN*	SimSolid KN
Critical Load	6.90	6.904

*The reference result is calculated by:

P_{c r} = \frac{π^{2} E I}{{(K L)}^{2}}

$P_{c r} = \frac{π^{2} E I}{{(K L)}^{2}}$
