Die Knicklast des einseitig eingespannten, tangential gedrückten Stabes

Summary

The author calculates the buckling load of a built-in free rod subjected to tangential end-thrust. As this stability problem is nonconservative, it cannot be solved by the usual static methods. Investigation of the free vibrations underP yields the buckling loadP _k=20,05 α/l ² (α: flexual rigidity,l: length). (Damping forces are not taken into account; they might diminish the actual critical load).
