Abstract

This study is concerned with the buckling problem of an Euler column with the condition of both ends elastically restrained under an axial compressive force. The objectives are, therefore, to derive a general buckling criteria equation based on an analytical method and to present verification for the obtained results. The highlight of the study is that the problem governing differential equation which is formulated and solved in the form of non-dimension. Significantly, the considering column can be re-conditioned to other cases of column having various end restraints.
