Extract

The stability of a rectangular plate, subjected to constant thrust over opposite pairs of edges, has been treated with some degree of completeness for various boundary conditions. The more general problem, in which the thrusts are no longer constant, has not yet received any treatment apart from the approximate method developed by E. Schwerin†, which would appear to be capable of only limited extension. The object of this paper is accordingly the detailed consideration of a simple case when the thrust is no longer constant.
