3. Plate veiling

3.1 Buckling and critical elastic buckling load

Let's consider an ideal plate, i.e. initially flat and made of an indefinitely elastic material, subjected to the exclusive action of a single membrane force N x (resp. N y , or N xy ) which induces compression in all or part of this plate.

  • For a certain load intensity, the flat configuration of the plate becomes an unstable state of equilibrium: the plate is likely to buckle. The load corresponding to this level of stress is called the "elastic critical load" and is designated N x,cr (resp. N ...
