Question

Consider a member with a rectangular cross section subjected to a compressive load P which is delivered through a rigid block on the upper end of the member as illustrated below. The upper end of the member is free to rotate about both axis directions, but is constrained from lateral deflection in one of the directions by the rigid guide plates illustrated. The lower end is hinged and this allows rotations about one axis direction only. Assume the member is made of steel with a modulus of elasticity of 210 GPa and yield strength of 250 MPa.

(a) Determine the value of P at which the member will yield in compression (assuming L is small enough that yield occurs before buckling).

(b) The initial vertical separation of the rigid block and the guide plates is d = 1.5 mm. Assuming L = 140 mm, the load P is increased until the member yields and deforms plastically. The load is removed when the rigid block on the upper end of the member contacts the rigid guide plates. Treat the steel member as a perfectly elasto-plastic material and determine the final vertical separation of the rigid block and the guide plates (i.e., determine the value of d) when the load has been fully removed.

(c) If L = 1500 mm, determine the lowest critical buckling load, P.

rigid block guide plate d 1.5 40Le =0.7L L, Lt =0.5L(d) Sketch the buckled shape of the member if the lowest critical buckling load identified in part (c) is reached.

Le =0.7L L, Lt =0.5L
