A1Problem description
This section was machine-translated by DeepL.

Leonhard Euler formulated the well-known stability cases I to IV for centrally compressed beams.

The solutions to the differential equations are based on trigonometric functions, which cannot be accurately represented by a classical finite beam element using polynomials. To evaluate the element approach, it is therefore necessary to determine the results using a coarse element mesh as well.

In most FE programmes, shear deformations are also included by default; whilst these have only a minor influence on slender members, they also prevent the exact theoretical values from being obtained.

A third point to note is that, when describing beam joints, so-called ‘static’ condensation is frequently applied, which does not permit accurate solutions for either dynamic or stability mode shapes.

An HEB 300 cross-section with an Iy of 25,170 cm⁴, a modulus of elasticity of 210,000 MPa and a system length L = 16,000 mm is to be used as the system for numerical evaluation.
