We recently created 53 free Mechanics of Materials tutorials that together form a whole course. The course begins with introducing stress and strain, and then goes on to cover torsion, pure bending, composite materials, beam deflection, energy methods, and columns! There are tons of detailed explanations and worked examples to help you better understand and grasp Mechanics of Materials.

The Mechanics of Materials course section on Column Buckling is now complete! 7 new tutorials that cover buckling of centrically  loaded columns with various end conditions are covered:​

• Columns and buckling introduced

• Column buckling example #1: both ends pinned
• Column buckling example #2: both ends fixed 
• Column buckling example #3: one fixed end, one free end
