    buckling "safety" factor

    @Klaus: what is "nad" calculation? I've done a FEM buckling analysis using Sap2000 and schematizing the beam using Shell (Thin). The lenght is necessary if i perform a calculation using Eurocode 3 standar method to check stability. @Eaglee: i totally agree with you, thank you for the tip abou...

    buckling "safety" factor

    thank for your help. the item is a steel part of a heavier machine. Which are the imperfection that i have to consider? I must imagine some imperfection? Furthermore, i would like to use Eurocode3 for checking the lateral torsional stability of the beam, but i don't know in this case which is...

    buckling "safety" factor

    Hi all, I've done a buckling analysis in order to investigate the lateral torsional buckling of a particular cantilevered steel beam on two support (here the schema:Link) I've found a buckling factor of 8. I would like to know which is the "minimum" buckling factor to take in order to be sure...
