Abstract

Unlike columns, rectangular plates with supported sides can carry significant loads beyond the initial buckling load, and this reserve strength often needs to be utilized in order to arrive at an efficient low-weight design. The behaviour after the onset of buckling cannot be captured using linear analysis as carried out earlier in Chap. 7, but requires the use of the moderately large deformation theory put forth in the last chapter. Such post-buckling analysis is the topic of this chapter.
