Force aligned with or perpendicular to the main axis of the column could be more accurate terms, since we not always have a vertical column that is supporting a load on top of it.lee123456789 said:
Compressive strength is the ability of a material to withstand compressive forces without breaking or deforming. It is typically measured in units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch (psi) or megapascals (MPa).
Compressive strength is determined through testing, where a sample of the material is subjected to increasing compressive forces until it fails. The maximum force the material can withstand before breaking is then recorded as its compressive strength.
Euler stress, also known as buckling stress, is the maximum stress that a long, slender column can withstand before it buckles or bends under compressive forces. It is dependent on the material properties and the column's dimensions.
Euler stress can be calculated using the formula σ = (π^2 * E * I) / (L^2), where σ is the Euler stress, E is the modulus of elasticity of the material, I is the moment of inertia of the column, and L is the length of the column.
The compressive strength and Euler stress of columns are affected by various factors, including the material properties, column dimensions, and boundary conditions. Other factors such as temperature, loading rate, and imperfections in the column can also impact these values.
