Concept explainers

Buckling of columns

The column is described as a vertical member of the structure that carries an axial compressive load, and buckling is a lateral deformation of the column under the application of load.

Question

The rear wheels of a truck support 57.0% of the weight of the
truck, while the front wheels support 43.0% of the weight. The center
