compression, governing equation for plate BUCKLING OF PLATES
buckling, buckling analysis of sheets and
stiffened panel under compression, concept
of the effective sheet width, buckling due to Outcomes
shear and combined loading, crippling. On completion of this unit, Students can able to
estimate the buckling strength and load carrying
capacity of aircraft skin.
.
Where,
The variation of K with aspect ratio, a/b, is shown in graph for various numbers of buckle waves
Plate bending – Plates mid surface does not experience appreciable stretching or
contraction.
The variation of K with aspect ratio, a/b, is shown in the graph (previous
slide) for various numbers of buckle waves.
It can be seen that the minimum value of K is 4, and this occurs whenever
the plate length a, is n x b, the plate width. Thus a long plate prefers to buckle
into roughly square segments as shown in the figure (next slide).
