Euler Column Buckling

The Euler Column Equation predicts the maximum compressional force applied to a column before it buckles. This value depends on the length of the column, its Area Moment of Inertia, and Young's Modulus for the material.

Featured Equipment

Comprehensive Materials Testing System

Comprehensive Materials Testing System

Includes everything needed to do tensile, compression, shear, and bending testing as well as column buckling and photoelasticity.

Structures Beam Fixture

Structures Beam Fixture

The Structures Beam Fixture allows students to use I-beams from PASCO's Structures System to investigate tension, compression, and bending.

Materials Testing Machine

Materials Testing Machine

This is the assembly-only version; measures force and displacement for various materials as the materials are stretched, compressed, sheared, or bent.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
