Material Buckling
Materials buckling is the buckling of a homogeneous configuration with respect to material properties only. If we redefine in terms of purely material properties (and assume the fundamental mode), we have:
.
As stated previously, the geometric buckling is defined as:
.
Solving for k (in the fundamental mode),
;
thus,
.
Assuming the reactor is in a critical state (k = 1),
.
This expression is in purely material properties; therefore, this is called the materials buckling:
.
