Abstract

Elastic buckling design curves are presented for flat isotropic rectangular plates, which are either isolated or form part of a larger continuous plate structure. The design curves illustrate the effect of introducing combinations of elastic rptational restraints to the edges of simply supported isolated plates, which are subject to uniform in-plane compression or shear. Results for infinitely long and/or wide plates, with rectangular bays, are superimposed for comparison.
