0The assumptions made in the analysis of columns and struts by Euler’s theory are:
-
The column that is being analyzed has a uniform cross section throughout its length.
-
The column is initially perfectly straight and the load load is axially applied at the ends of the column.
-
The material of the column is homogeneous and isotropic.
-
The only reason of failure in the column is buckling.
-
The lateral deflection is very small as compared to the length of the column.
-
The direct stress produced in the column is less as compared to the flexural stress and is neglected.
-
The weight of the column is neglected.
