I n recent years, a great number of analytical approximate solution techniques have been introduced to find a solution to the nonlinear problems that arised in applied sciences. One of these methods is the homotopy analysis method (HAM). HAM has been successfully applied to various kinds of nonlinear differential equations. In this paper, HAM is applied to find buckling loads of Euler columns with elastic end restraints. The critical buckling loads obtained by using HAM are compared with the exact analytic solutions in the literature. Perfect match of the results veries that HAM can be used as an efficient, powerfull and accurate tool for buckling analysis of Euler columns with elastic end restraints.
