Summary
Perfect buckling of an axial rod occurs at the Euler load, which cannot be achieved in practice because of the presence of straightness imperfections. The governing mathematical behaviour is very similar in both cases but with starkly different outcomes. Matters are revised here for the case of an axial load applied eccentrically, which aims to highlight the role of different end loadings, rather than just geometrical imperfections, in the context of buckling.
