Describe the strut's end fixing conditions about the x-x and y-y axes.
Calculate the strut's buckling load according to Euler Formula.
Sketch the relationship of the slenderness ratio and buckling stress for the
strut about the x-x axis. Critically comment on the suitability of the Euler
equation for estimating the maximum compressive load the strut can
support.
