Buckling strength predictions are presented for a wide range of thin isotropic skew plates, subject to uniform uniaxial compression. The key studied parameters include the aspect ratio, skew angle and rotational restraint stiffness on the different edges of the plate. The buckling strengths are evaluated both for isolated plates and for plates which are continuous with other parts of the structure. The buckling predictions are presented in the form of dimensionless buckling curves, which permits a ready adoption into the "data sheets" commonly used in current design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
