Hi all
I was hoping someone could remove some doubt in my mind with regards to interpreting the Second Moment Of Area and Eulers formula for buckling.
Am I correct in thinking that:-
- The higher the Second Moment Of Area Value the more resistant to bending.
- The lower the Second Moment Of Area Value the less resistant to bending.
Using Eulers formula for buckling I have calculated the critical load for a column in the X and Y axis, my values are:-
Ix = 25.39N
Iy = 634N
Am I correct in interpreting these results as the column will buck in the x-axis first because it will only take 25.39N of load before it buckles - is this correct?
I can do the math it is the concept I struggle with (doesn't help that I have a crap tutor).
thank you.
