Although the theory of the elastic stability of perfect pin-ended struts, sometimes referred to as the Euler theory, provides some insight into the behaviour of slender compression members, it omits […]
EK597
Since it is impossible to quantify the variations in geometric imperfections, accidental eccentricity, residual stresses and material properties, it is impossible to calculate with certainty, the greatest reduction in strength […]
EK407
Euler equation has validity only with perfectly straight columns, free of residual stresses, loaded at the centre of gravity and knife-edge supports.
EK160
The effects of residual stresses are allowed for approximately in EC3 by using enhanced equivalent geometrical imperfections.
EK137
Theoretically, a member can only behave linearly while the maximum stress does not exceed the yield stress, and so the presence of residual stresses or stress concentrations will cause early […]
