Factors

Transformation of the factors defining a function depending on the slenderness ratio

χ = \frac{N}{N_{pl}}; λ = \frac{N_{pl}}{N_{cr}}; \frac{e_{0}}{\frac{h}{2}}; e_{0} = \frac{L}{m}; α = \frac{λ_{1}}{m}

= > \frac{e_{0}}{\frac{h}{2}} = \frac{(\frac{L}{m})}{i} = \frac{(\frac{L}{i})}{m} = \frac{λ}{m} = \frac{\bar{λ} \cdot λ_{1}}{m} = \bar{λ} \cdot α

e₀	Pre-deformation
L	Structural length of the component
λ₁	Limit slenderness
α	Imperfection factor from various buckling curves
λ	Slenderness
$\overline{λ}$	Related slenderness
m	Divisor of the pre-deformation is adjusted to the buckling curves
