table shows that the rod will iterate to 1.13 radians where the rod will be in stable equilibrium. The formula for this table is next radians rotation=sin(last radians rotation)/.8 In the table from the formula you can see the rod starts at .1 radians and iterates to 1.13 radians where it is in stable equilibrium. .1 .124 .156 .194 .241 .300 .367 .448 .542 .645 .751 .853 .942 1.01 1.06 1.09 1.11 1.12 1.12 1.13 1.13 and so on as it converges to 1.13 radians where the rod is stable. The P DELTA effect finds the stable final deformed shape of a structure just like how the rod rotates to a final deformed position at 1.13 radians. The idea is that iteratively repeated linear structural analyses can solve a non linear structural analysis problem. It takes multiple iterations of a linear analysis to compute the final deformed shape of a structure where the P DELTA effect is significant.

rod planted firmly into the ground, given a constant cross-section, can only extend so far up before it buckles under its own weight; in this case the lateral displacement for the solid is an infinitesimal quantity governed by Euler buckling. If the lateral displacement and/or the vertical axial loads through the structure are significant then a P-delta analysis should be performed to account for the non-linearities.

You have a 1 meter tall rigid vertical rod that rotates on a hinge at the bottom of the rod. There is a 1 newton load on the top of the rod. The rod has a hinge with a rotational stiffness of 0.8 newton meters per radian of rotation. So you input any initial rotational angle on the rod. The following

In some sense, the P-delta effect is similar to the buckling load of an elastic, small-scale solid column given the boundary conditions of a free end on top and a completely restrained end at the bottom, with the exception that there may exist an invariant vertical load at the top of the column. A

P-delta is a second-order effect on a structure which is loaded laterally. One first-order effect is the initial deflection of the structure in reaction to the lateral load. The magnitude of the P-delta effect depends on the magnitude of this initial deflection. P-delta is a
