In: Mechanical Engineering
consider a column that is fixed at the base and which
is pinned at the top. The differential equation for this system
is
d^2v/dx^2 + k^2v= R/El ( L -x);k^2=P/EI
it is known that the smallest critical load is
P1= 20.19EI/ L^2.
for this system determine the second smallest critical load P2 and
express this as the numerical ratio P2/P1.
