Summary

Four buckling problems are considered, namely: —

  • (a) A rectangular orthotropic plate, with all edges simply supported, subjected to compression on its ends and a known compression or tension on its sides;

  • (b) the same as (a) but with the ends clamped and sides simply supported;

  • (c) a rectangular orthotropic plate, with the ends simply supported and sides clamped, subjected to compression on its ends; and

  • (d) the same as (c) but with all edges clamped.

In each case it is shown that the variables involved can all be combined into such a non-dimensional form that a single curve serves to give the value of the end compression required to cause buckling. This curve is identical with the curve of buckling stress coefficient against side ratio for a corresponding isotropic plate under uni-axial compression.
