Which outcome results when excessive compressive stress surpasses the Euler buckling threshold in a column represented by eigenfunction-based structural analysis?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic bending initiates because exceeding the Euler buckling threshold triggers a mechanical instability driven by eigenfunction deformation; therefore the column buckles, rather than exhibiting resilient or predictable responses under increasing compression.
