Understanding Buckling

Published 2021-08-17
Buckling is a failure mode that occurs in columns and other members that are loaded in compression. It is a sudden change deformation that occurs at a certain critical load.
In this video we explore some key topics relating to buckling, including Euler's formula, the effects of end conditions, and other aspects like the effect of column slenderness, inelastic buckling and the buckling of shells and plates.

For further reading on buckling I'd recommend the following:
- Mechanics of Materials - Goodno & Gere (introduction)
- Stability of Structures: Elastic, Inelastic, Fracture and Damage Theories - Bažant and Cedolin (more advanced)
- Theory of Elastic Stability - Timoshenko and Gere (more advanced)

Thanks for watching! Here's a link to the short video on Euler and the Self-Buckling Problem on Nebula - nebula.tv/videos/the-efficient-engineer-euler-and-…!

I'm in awe. You are the 3Blue1Brown of engineering!
-
Honestly, I feel very grateful to be able to see this videos. I just want to remind you that, whenever you feel down, please remind yourself that you helped thousands of students understand the physics behind the theoretical stuff! You are awesome!
-
I wouldn’t have understood a lot of engineering subjects as i do without your videos. Keep doing what you do brother. We appreciate every single effort spent. ❤️.

Your animations are billion times more EFFICIENT than college professor's lectures to make me THE EFFICIENT ENGINEER.
-
This is pure gold - 15 minutes, free and with way more digestable information that during part of the course of Mechanics of Solids nearly a decade ago, for which I unfortunately paid a fortune!

As a civil engineer, I've been looking for a really in-depth engineering channel on YouTube for many years, but have always been disappointed until now. It seems I've finally found something reputable. Thank you very much and greetings from Germany!
-
I feel like I was born to benefit from these videos at the right time! I'm just about to cover this in class next month!
-
there are people in this world who are meant to be the best. whoever makes these videos is one of the greatest teachers i have ever know and yet english is my second language
-
I love your videos, thank you! It's so much more understandable than the theory in my books. My favorite thing about watching your channel is understanding the "whys" and the context of the formulas + the visual examples of what the formula means! Your videos are amazing!
-
I wish I had access to this kind explanation and education during my college days. As a structural engineer, you explained it on a level that even a student will find it understandable and how those formulas were derived from. Thanks so much.
-
Please don't stop making such videos they are really helping us out .
-
This channel deserves more......... Sensational efforts from the creators...... Thank you guys, for making this knowledge available to everyone for free ❤️
-
I was looking on your channel for a buckling video a month ago, and now you have uploaded one! YOU ROCK SIR!
-
You are the only person who is saving me from the difficulty of understanding any topics regarding Mechanical Subject. I want to connect with this channel throughout my life.
-
I love how thorough and clear your videos are!
-
This channel does a better job to understand on a conceptual level than any class ive taken in 4 years of mech eng
-
These type of videos are what we need during the online classes.
-
Thank you YT for recommending me this channel. Thank you TEE for your great work. Haven't seen a subject like this presented in a way like yours before and I really enjoyed it. Plus, I'm not only refreshing my knowledge, it also calms me down. Great work.
-
Amazing work as always. This is the topic I've been waiting for.
