Determine the amount of axial force (in N) to cause buckling-failure for a Long or Intermediate Column. (Hint: Only two buckling methods, Euler or Johnson, but determine which method you need to use first using determining equation)
Data:
Cross-Section is a hollow rectangle with a base of 40 mm, height of 40 mm, and a wall thickness of 10 mm.
Length of the column is 0.5 meters.
Material is a Steel with a young's modulus of 207 GPa.
Yield strength of 390 MPa
Boundary Constraint: Fixed on one end and Fixed on the other end
For boundary constraints, use the Theoretical value from table 4-2.
