Abstract
Abstract The post-buckling behaviour of tapered cantilever columns is investigated in this paper. The governing nonlinear differential equation with variable coefficients is solved using the Galerkin finite element method. Three loading conditions on the column are considered in the analysis - a concentrated tip load, a uniformly distributed load and a linearly varying load. Very accurate estimates of the axial load parameters are presented for various end slopes and for different taper parameters.
