  2. Johnson's parabolic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson's_parabolic_formula

    In structural engineering, Johnson's parabolic formula is an empirically based equation for calculating the critical buckling stress of a column. The formula is based on experimental results by J. B. Johnson from around 1900 as an alternative to Euler's critical load formula under low slenderness ratio (the ratio of radius of gyration to ...

  3. Buckling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling

    This results in a non-linear behaviour in the load carrying behaviour of these details. The ratio of the actual load to the load at which buckling occurs is known as the buckling ratio of a sheet. [1] High buckling ratios may lead to excessive wrinkling of the sheets which may then fail through yielding of the wrinkles. Although they may buckle ...

  4. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    This formula was derived in 1744 by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. [2] The column will remain straight for loads less than the critical load. The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally.

  5. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).

  6. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Ultimate strength is an attribute related to a material, rather than just a specific specimen made of the material, and as such it is quoted as the force per unit of cross section area (N/m 2). The ultimate strength is the maximum stress that a material can withstand before it breaks or weakens. [ 12 ]

    the Johnson–Cook model; the Steinberg–Cochran–Guinan–Lund model. the Zerilli–Armstrong model. the Mechanical threshold stress model. the Preston–Tonks–Wallace model. The Johnson–Cook (JC) model [24] is purely empirical and is the most widely used of the five. However, this model exhibits an unrealistically small strain-rate ...

  8. Elastica theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastica_theory

    An experiment displaying very large elastic deformations. A three-dimensional actuator modelled using elastica theory.. The elastica theory is a theory of mechanics of solid materials developed by Leonhard Euler that allows for very large scale elastic deflections of structures.

  9. Elastic instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_instability

    Elastic instability is a form of instability occurring in elastic systems, such as buckling of beams and plates subject to large compressive loads. There are a lot of ways to study this kind of instability. One of them is to use the method of incremental deformations based on superposing a small perturbation on an equilibrium solution.
