Equilibrium Regimes Figure 9.1: Depiction of equilibrium regimes. (a) Stable; (b) neutral; (c) unstable.
Example 9.1 Given: A simple pendulum (Fig. 9.2) in which a ball is hung by a thin wire and is acted on by gravitational acceleration. Find: Is the system's equilibrium neutral, stable, or unstable? Solution: The force restoring the ball to the center position (θ= 0) is P = mag sin θ. From simple harmonic motion Combining gives For any angle θ, the angular acceleration d2θ/dt2has the opposite sign from θfor –π ≤ θ ≤ π. Thus, the ball will always return to the center position (θ= 0), implying that stable equilibrium prevails. Figure 9.2: Pendulum used in Example 9.1.

Design Procedure 9.1: Selecting a Buckling Equation Often, one needs to design a column to support a given load, and constraints such as material, column length, etc, may be specified. It is often not clear beforehand whether a column will buckle according to the Euler or Johnson equations. The following procedure is useful in these cases: Assume that the column buckles according to Eq. (9.7), or that it encounters Euler buckling. Use this equation to determine the column's geometry. Calculate the critical slenderness ratio from Eq. (9.15) and (9.18), namely Calculate the slenderness ratio of the column from C=le/rg, where rgis given by Eq. (4.14) as If C ≥ Cc, then the column is indeed described by the Euler equation and the cross section calculated in step 1 is applicable. If C< Cc, the Johnson equation [Eq. (9.16)] must be used to determine the column geometry. Note that an equally useful design rule can be derived where the Johnson equation is assumed to be correct, and the Euler equation is used otherwise.
