Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Stability of Beams under Various Boundary Conditions

Course week(s) Week 4
Course subject(s) Beams

The stability equations derived in section 3.2 are solved in this lecture for various boundary conditions. The Euler buckling load is derived for a simply supported beam, but also the buckling loads and modes for beams with other boundary conditons are derived. The lecture is concluced with an explanation of the effective length of a beam.
