Euler Critical Force Calculation for Laced Columns

摘要: The paper presents a method of solving the buckling problem laced column as statically indeterminate structure without analyzing determinants high order. flexural and torsional problems are reduced to two-point boundary value for difference equation system. Euler critical load is determined result fourth order determinant with any degree static indeterminacy. solution based on initial values. Stability columns types lattice (crosswise, serpentine, batten struts); number panels variable spacing can be examined by this manner. analogy between established. It enables one use same relations consideration both kinds buckling. obtained numerical results show that loads calculated substantially differed from those approximated Engesser's approach. A PC program checking stability designer developed basis present method.
