Application of finite element methods to the post-buckling behaviour of thin plates containing imperfections
A finite element program, applicable to the pre- and post-buckling behaviour of plates with imperfections, is developed. Suitable incremental stiffness matrices are generated for a plate element with four nodes and twenty degrees of freedom. Preliminary work, together with a prototype pro- gram, is...
