Plate Buckling
摘要
Plates are thin-walled structures, and for this reason their buckling behavior under inplane load must be investigated in the practical design process. In this chapter, we discuss the buckling behavior of thin plates in the context of the so-called Kirchhoff plate theory and present some analytical solutions as well as approximation methods before discussing the buckling behavior of stiffened plates. The chapter is rounded off with explanations of the postbuckling behavior of plates.
