Abstract

The Ritz method is used in the buckling analysis of anisotropic plates under several combinations of in-plane loads and boundary conditions. Ritz bases are generated from modi ed Legendre polynomials, and the plate rigidities are carefully chosen to provide thermodynamically admissible materials. The accuracy of the proposed approach is assessed by means of several examples solved by nite element models.
