The formulas for buckling under axial force only involve the applied force or pressure, such as with Euler buckling. But if you look at the case of a rocket as the fuel is burned off, the force, i.e., the thrust, stays the same but the acceleration increases as the mass decreases.
But we are told the thrust has to be limited to limit the structural stress on the vehicle during the high portions of the flight, i.e., limit the acceleration. So are there more advanced formulas that do include the acceleration?
