Comparison of approaches to the assessment of buckling of variously long and supported columns
Ostratická, Klára ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Šebek, František (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with assessment of the buckling stability. The differences between elastic and inelastic buckling and effects on the critical force are described. The effect of material, supports and length of the column is described in more detail. During buckling, the character of deformation changes, the compressed column starts to bend at a definite point. This point is called bifurcation point and the limit is amount of critical force. The calculation of critical buckling force is carried out analytically for selected examples using the Euler and Johnson methods. The results are numerically checked by the finite element method in Ansys. The results for linear buckling are identical. Examples of nonlinear buckling are also calculated numerically. The difference is found in critical force for contact surfaces without friction and with friction. Defining the critical force can prevent the collapse of the entire structure, thus avoiding catastrophic incidents.
