Abstract

An exact solution for the buckling of a simply supported elliptic plate under uniform compression is obtained by means of Mathieu functions and modified Mathieu functions. The method of Rayleigh-Ritz is used to find an approximate solution of the problem. It is found that the results from the determinantal calculation checks consistently with those from the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The error is generally less than 0.27%.
