Kink/Buckling Homework: Calculating Maximum Force w/ E295 Steel

[buell23]

Hello

I have a steel shaft which is loaded by a pressure force in axis direction.
If I want to calculate the maximum force I have to proof if this is a kink according to Euler or not.

For steel E295 there is a Lambda_p = 89

In my case I calculated that Lambda is 125 --> Lk/i --> i = sqrt(I/A)

Now my question is: What if Lambda is lower than Lambda_p?
What do I have to do in this case?

Hi

Thats an empiric value for diverse steel. For S235JR for example 104.

But I looked for it in the internet. If Lambda < Lambda_p, we have to use way of Tetmajer.
