Abstract

Buckling problems of plates with interfaces caused by step changes in thickness, internal line supports and line hinges under uni-axial and bi-axial in-plane compressive loads are solved by using the matched interface and boundary (MIB) method. In view of buckling problems of plates, new MIB algorithms and their interpolation formulations are developed to deal with various interfaces. A number of examples are taken to examine the accuracy and convergence of the present algorithms. Numerical results are compared with the existing solutions to validate the applicability of these algorithms to the title problems. Numerical analysis shows that on the whole, MIB and its interpolation formulation are equivalent, and they are highly accurate and efficient approaches for buckling analysis of plates with various interfaces.
