I solved the mode shape of the clamped-pinned boundary conditions, a undefined parameter, 'c' is appearing in the mode shape of the coloumn.

Query:1)  Could anyone would like to discuss on this undefined parameter, 'c'. it is critical to define the final modeshape of the column.

Non-linear buckling.

I will be teaching a sophomore level class  mechanics of materials class.  The class will cover mechanics of basic strength of materials (e.g. beams, pressure vessels), but I also want to teach basic elements of failure mechanics (fracture, fatigue, plasticity, and wear.)  I'm looking for a recommendation of an undergrad mechanics textbook that covers the fracture, fatigue, plasticity, and wear.  The students will have had a statics and mechanics class and their textbook already covers strength of materials.  Thanks.
