Abstract
Buckling is characterized as the sudden sideways failure of a member when subjected to axial compressive stresses. The load is eccentric, which introduces a secondary bending movement that is not part of the primarily applied forces. Buckling analysis is performed on the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder which compresses huge volumes of cotton. The piston rod, according to its slenderness ratio, falls under the category of long columns, which makes it extremely vulnerable to buckling. A comparative study is performed based on Euler’s formula as well as the finite element method. Results using the software approach are obtained for up to three modes. Mathematically, it has been found that the rod is operating with a factor of safety of 2.30, whereas in finite element analysis, the factor of safety turned out to be 7.12. Furthermore, the paper also focuses on different techniques that can be incorporated into piston rods to increase their buckling resistance.
