Abstract

A finite-element solution to the buckling of a plate compliant in transverse shear is considered. A rectangular finite element with four nodes is used. The basic kinematic variables include the angles of transverse shear strains. A comparative analysis of the load-carrying ability of composite and sandwich plates compressed along one of plate sides is performed. Two variants of boundary conditions on the plate contour are compared, namely the classical fixed contour and a fixed contour with free transverse shear deformations.
