Plate Buckling Analysis by the Finite Element Method

An investigation was made of the buckling of rectangular plates with free, simply supported, or clamped edges and loaded in uniform compression or pure shear. The finite element method with a rectangular, sixteen-degree-of -freedom element was used. Results show that, for the same order of error...
