ABAQUS Tutorial – Column Buckling
Consider a 5 m column with a 10 cm circular cross-section (R=.05m) loaded in axial
compression. The column is pinned at its ends. Determine the critical buckling modes and
corresponding mode shapes
Theoretical Solution
The theoretical Euler buckling loads are given by
