Euler's Formula
Consider a long simply-supportedcolumn under an
external axial load F, as shown in the figure to the left. The
critical buckling load(elastic stability limit) is given byEuler's formula,
where Eis the Young's modulus of the column material, Iis
the area moment of inertia of the crosssection, and Lis
the length of the column.
!ote that the critical buc"ling load decreases with the
s#uare of the column length.

+n general, columns do not always terminate with simlysuorted ends.
Therefore, the formula for the critical buc"ling load must be generali&ed.
The generali&ed e#uation ta"es the form of Euler's formula,
where the effective length of the column Leffdeends on the boundary conditions.*ome common boundary conditions are shown in the schematics below
The following table lists the effective lengths for columns terminating with a varietyof boundary condition combinations. $lso listed is a mathematical reresentation of
