A solution to the problem of buckling of a viscous strut with eccentrically applied end loads has been found previously as an infinite trigonometric series having poor convergence for small values of time. An alternative series solution has been found, using powers rather than exponentials of time, which provides not only rapid convergence but simple closed forms for bounds on the maximum deflection.
