Question
Three identical, solid circular rods, each of
radius r and length L, are placed together to form a
compression member (see the cross section shown in
the figure).
Assuming pinned-end conditions, determine the
critical load Pcr.
(a) The rods act independently as individual
columns.
(b) The rods are bonded by epoxy throughout their
lengths so that they function as a single member.
What is the effect on the critical load when the
rods act as a single member?
