Extract

1. The elastic stability of a long flat plate when acted on by a shearing force along its edges has been discussed by Southwell and Skan*, and Leggett† has solved the shearing problem when the plate has a small constant curvature. The present paper deals with the elastic stability of a long corrugated plate which is acted on by a shearing force along its generators, the work being applicable to plates with any given number of bays forming the corrugations. It is supposed that the plate is thin and that the depth d of a bay is a small multiple of the semithickness h; little progress has been made without some such assumption as the second, which enables us to reduce the fundamental equations to a soluble form.
