Nonlinear Correction to the Euler Buckling Formula for Compressible Cylinders

Euler’s celebrated buckling formula gives the critical load N for the buckling of a slender cylindrical column with radius B and length L as N/(π 3B2)=(E/4)(B/L)2, where E is Young’s modulus. Its derivation relies on the assumptions that linear elasticity applies to this problem, and that the slen...
