Assumption
a. The coloumn has rectangular crossection and made of elastic-perfect-plastic
material which exhibits no strain hardening.
b. When yield stress and elastic buckling stress, compare three column which
have the following characteritic.

c. The behavior of the above three column under axial force from the following
points.
1. The elastic behavior before elastic buckling or yielding.
2. The behaviour after eleastic buckling( only for the slender coloumn)
3. The full plastic behavior after yielding.
d. Compare the behavior of slender, Intermediate and thick column by plotting
compresive displacement-force curve and deflection-compresive force curve.
1 Elastic behavior before elastic buckling or yielding
There are no deflections. Thus we can regard that two elastic bars are simply
compressed elastically. A displacement u is shown as below,

where L is length of column, A is cross-sectional area, E is Youngs modulus and F is
compressive force.

2 Behavior after elastic buckling (only for the slender column)

The elastic buckling load FE and the elastic buckling stress E for a simply supported
column are written as below,

There are three expressions showing buckling stress of slender, intermediate and thick
columns. The each thickness is shown in Table.2.
Table.2 Thickness of each column

Fig.1 and Fig.2 show results. We can confirm that there will be non-linear behavior at
the point of u uY 1 , and with increasing of thickness structural strengths will become
more stronger.
