Determination of Buckling Loads of Tilted Buckled Column with Varying Flexural Rigidity Using Variational Iteration Method

摘要

In this paper, Variational Iteration Method (VIM) is applied for finding buckling loads of a tilted buckled column with varying flexural rigidity, which is an important engineering problem in structural analysis and design considerations. In the cases where determination of exact solutions of tilt-buckling problems may not be possible, usage of this new technique will give researchers a powerful tool for determining them. This study shows the efficiency of the method and accuracy of the resulting analytic approximate solution for the problem.
