limit. And short columns, sometimes called posts, do not become
unstable; rather the material simply yields or fractures.
Application of the Euler equation requires that the stress in the
column remain below the material’s yield point (actually the
proportional limit) when the column buckles, and so this equation
applies only to long columns. In practice, however, most columns are
selected to have intermediate lengths. The behavior of these columns
can
be studied by modifying the Euler equation so that it applies for
inelastic
buckling. To show how this can be done, consider the material to
have a
stress–strain diagram as shown in Fig. 13–18a. Here the proportional
