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:
.

Famous quotes containing the word material:
“Trying to love your children equally is a losing battle. Your children’s scorecards will never match your own. No matter how meticulously you measure and mete out your love and attention, and material gifts, it will never feel truly equal to your children. . . . Your children will need different things at different times, and true equality won’t really serve their different needs very well, anyway.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
