GUNT Euler Buckling Demonstration setup offers a visual and hands-on introduction to the four classic Euler cases of elastic flexural buckling. The unit demonstrates how slender bars lose stability under axial compressive loads depending on the support conditions. As the load increases incrementally, the bar eventually reaches the critical buckling load, visibly deflecting laterally. This experiment provides a clear understanding of the relationship between support types and buckling behaviour, making it ideal for structural and mechanical engineering education.
