3. Flexural buckling

3.1 Elastic critical load

An ideal column with a uniform doubly symmetrical cross-section and axially loaded at its ends in compression can buckle by bending around one of the main axes of its cross-section under an elastic critical load, also known as the "Euler critical load":

P_{c r} = \frac{π^{2} E l}{{(α L)}^{2}}
