🏗️ Euler Column Buckling (2D)

2D Euler buckling simulator: apply an axial load to a column, adjust end conditions (K), elastic modulus E, moment of inertia I and length L, and watch the real critical-load deflection shape P_cr = pi^2 E I / (K L)^2.

⚙ Under the hood

Apply an axial load to a 2D column and watch it deflect into its real Euler buckling eigenmode. This companion to the 3D buckling simulation uses the same physics -- critical load P_cr = pi^2*E*I / (K*L)^2 -- so you can adjust end conditions, elastic modulus, moment of inertia and length, and read the live critical load, load ratio and safety factor as the column approaches instability.
