Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A column has a critical buckling load of 25 kN and a flexural rigidity (EI) of 3000 Nm². If the geometric stiffness index (G) is 1000 kN/m, determine the eigenvalue for this system.
💡 Hint: Don't forget how we calculate eigenvalues from load factors.
Question 2
Given a beam-column subjected to an axial load with EI = 2000 Nm², derive the governing equation for its buckling and discuss the potential eigenvalues.
💡 Hint: In deriving, consider how differential equations relate to mechanical properties and forces on the structure.
