Trends in Developing Critical Elastic Buckling Formula for Fixed Rectangular Plate Subjected To a Concentrated Load
Journal Title: Trends in Civil Engineering and its Architecture - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Lateral buckling analysis of fixed rectangular plates under the lateral concentrated load is an interesting problem. However, there is not a determined equation to calculate the critical elastic buckling strength of such plate. This paper presents the equations of the previous studies by Cheng and Yuan and analyzes the critical buckling strength of the plate calculated by finite element method (FEM). Finally, discussion and suggestion on the trends in developing critical elastic buckling formula for such plate are made. Rayleigh-Ritz method is commonly used energy method to calculate the elastic buckling strength of a plate Qu [1]. The total potential energy of a structure is π = U + W , where U is the buckling deformation potential energy and W is the external potential energy. The critical buckling strength of a structure can be calculated once . For an end-fixed rectangular plate subjected to a concentrated load, the mechanical diagram is shown in (Figure 1). The buckling deformation potential energy of the plate can be determined as: As shown in (Figures 2-4), it can be found that the consequence of the buckling modes is moved by changing the height-to-width ratio of the plate. High-order buckling mode may be occurred in the plate with lower height-to-width ratio. According to the studies conducted by Cheng and Yuan, only two variables were in their equations, and the cosine function and polynomial function were used to describe the buckling modes of the analyzed plates. However, two variables might not be used to present the high-order buckling mode of half-waves more than three. Such functions limit more degree of freedom (DOF) of the plate, and the critical buckling strength calculated from such functions is larger than the correct value.
