Summary

The stability of a compressed plate is examined, using the energy method, with transverse deflections defined by a function giving the exact shape, but never specified. By this means it is possible to make observations about the form of the plate buckling coefficient. This form is examined tor two cases of loading, and it is demonstrated that a close approximation to the complete curve linking the buckling coefficient with plate aspect ratio can be deduced. The method is applicable to single plates or thin walled members consisting of an assembly of plates, and enables families of curves connecting buckling coefficients with aspect ratios to be summarised in a single relationship.
