In the present study, the buckling behavior of beams is analyzed by a plane strain finite element. The displacement-type finite element formulation based on two-dimensional elasticity of a buckling beam leads to an eigenvalue problem and is transformed again into another type of eigenvalue problem to eliminate iterations and possible difficulty during iterations and to obtain the various critical loads simultaneously.
Comparing with conventional beam theories, the present approach needs no approximations or assumptions except that the width-to thickness ratio should be large enough for the beam to be considered as a plane strain case. Theoretically the present method should be more accurate than conventional beam theories and attractive than iterative method if the same accuracy is obtained, due to the economy in computation of the present method.
Buckling strength under different beam geometry, type of loading, and boundary condition by the present approach will be compared with those by iterative method and various beam theories to test its validation and accuracy.
