way of finding a column's critical buckling load from tests on an imperfect specimen by plotting deflection against deflection divided by load, which gives a straight line.

In structural engineering, Southwell plot refers to way of finding a column's critical buckling load from tests on an imperfect specimen by plotting deflection against deflection divided by load, which gives a straight line. This meaning comes from Southwell (1932) in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character.[1]
