In this study we contrast two competing methodologies for the impact buckling of a column that is clamped at both ends. The initial imperfection is postulated to be co-configurational with the fundamental mode shape of the column without the axial loading. A solution is also furnished for the case when the initial imperfection is proportional to the Filonenko-Borodich “cosinusoidal polynomial”. Probabilistic and interval analyses are conducted for each case; these are contrasted on some representative numerical data.
