• Forround tubular sections : function of the critical buckling stress of the section.
Equations to obtain the critical buckling stress are based on
the plate theory for orthotropic elements, and they are
(8.8.2-1) expressed in tenns of the aspect ratio bit of the plate or the
aspect ratio Dlt of the cylinder. For polygonal sections, the
critical buckling stress is determined for a long plate with
simply supported long edges. Because there is some edge
restraint at the intersection between sides of the polygon,
where: the assumption of simply supported long edges leads to
conservative values for the critical buckling stress.
