Plate stability by boundary element method

Book ·
OSTI ID:283340
As indicated by the title, this publication is devoted to the application of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to the analysis of elastic plastes subjected to inplane forces. Three classes of plate problems associated with the buckling phenomenon are considered, viz: The state of plane stress, buckling of plates caused by edge loads, and moderately large deflections of slightly warped plates. The first (introductory) chapter gives an historical background and the behavior, theory, and analyses of plates. Chapter 2 briefly comments on the phenomenon of buckling and clearly presents the universal expressions and equations of the linear and nonlinear theories established by Kirchhoff for thin plates. A prominent place is assigned to the airy plane-stress function introduced into the nonlinear flexural theory of plates by A Foeppl and Th von Karman.
