Buckling of slender prismatic columns with multiple edge cracks using energy approach

In this paper, the elastic stability of slender columns weakened by multiple edge cracks subjected to concentrated loads applied at the ends is presented. The analysis is carried out by using the minimum potential energy technique. The cracked section is modeled by a massless rotational spring which...
