Thrust is transmitted to an aircraft control by a tube which is 1 m long with an outside diameter of 25 mm and wall thickness of 2 mm. Assume the ends of the tube to be pin jointed and guided. Calculate the failing load by:
a) Euler theory
b) Rankine Theory
Assume E = 200 GN/m2, a =1/3000 and ?c = 300 MN/m2
