Just to tie up this thread... I followed Phil's first method of producing a radius chine, which did end up working for me, so many thanks. I...

Hi all, I'm working as a 'first project' on an interpretation of Atkin's Ingrid as a chined steel hull. I've come up against a bit of a problem...
Why not? Calculate both, and the result with the lower buckling load will represent the real-world buckling mode.
Many thanks Eric, that clears that up. I see now why Euler is the way to go.
I take your point about the maximum stress value not falling at the partners. However, if the keel-stepped base does not behave as a true fixed...
I'm interested that you use Euler buckling as your criteria for mast design. I'm sure that you know vastly more about this than me, but in my mind...
