Buckling loads of columns of regular polygon cross-section with constant volume and clamped ends

A numerical method is developed for calculating the buckling loads of tapered columns of regular polygon cross-section with constant volume and both clamped ends. The linear, parabolic and sinusoidal tapers are considered in numerical examples. From the numerical results, the strongest columns by t...
