This course covers the comprehensive understanding of torsional buckling in structural engineering. It begins with an introduction to the concept of torsional buckling, including its types and conditions under which it occurs. The course further delves into the mathematical expressions for St. Venant torsion and non-uniform torsion, and the strain energy stored when torsion is applied to a member. The course also simplifies the governing differential equation by deriving the expression for torque per small length. It discusses the critical load of torsional buckling for different sections and conditions. The course concludes with the analysis of torsional flexural buckling in columns with different boundary conditions and methods to find the critical load, including the equilibrium approach and the Rayleigh-Ritz method.
