Abstract
Full-range analysis for the buckling and postbuckling of rectangular plates under inplane compression has been made by perturbation technique which takes deflection as its perturbation parameter.
In this paper the effects of initial geometric imperfection on the postbuckling behavior of plates have been discussed. It is seen that the effect of initial imperfection on the inelastic postbuckling of plates is sensitive. By comparison, it is found that the theoretical results of this paper are in good agreement with experiments.
