### Nonlinear Correction to the Euler Buckling Formula for Compressed Cylinders with Guided-Guided End Conditions

Abstract:

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 $N / (\pi^3 B^2) = (E/4)(B/L)^2,$ where $E$ is Young's modulus. Its derivation relies on the assumptions that linear elasticity applies to this problem, and that the slenderness $(B/L)$ is an infinitesimal quantity. Here we ask the following question: What is the first nonlinear correction in the right hand-side of this equation when terms up t...
