    The post-buckling response of thin plates is important in engineering because thin plates can continue to carry increased loads in their elastic range after buckling. Considering the post-buckling behavior allows structures to benefit from this additional strength. However, analyzing the precise post-buckling response is difficult because the governing equations are nonlinear.

    THE POST-BUCKLING RESPONSE OF THIN PLATES.

    The post-buckling response of thin elastic plates is very important in engineering analysis. The reason is
    that thin plates after buckling are still capable of carrying a much increased load without failure
    provided that the stress is in the elastic range. Therefore, it is essential to consider the postbuckling
    behavior of the plate in order to benefit from this additional strength. The precice analysis of the post-
    buckling response proves to be quite difficult, because the governing equations are nonlinear. For this
    reason very few analytical or approximate solutions are available in the literature.
    where Kpre is the pre-buckling stiffness. For all practical purposes it can be assumed that
    the plate is loosing half of its stiffness after buckling but is able to carry additional loads.

    THICK PLATES VS. THIN PLATES

    The aim of plate theory is to calculate the deformation and stresses in a plate subjected to loads. A flat
    plate, like a straight beam carries lateral load by bending. The analyses of plates are categorized into
    two types based on thickness to breadth ratio: thick plate and thin plate analysis. If the thickness to
    width ratio of the plate is less than 0.1 and the maximum deflection is less than one tenth of thickness,
    then the plate is classified as thin plate. The well known as Kirchhoff plate theory is used for the analysis
    of such thin plates. On the other hand, Mindlin plate theory is used for thick plate where the effect of
    shear deformation is included.

    Classical thin plate theory is based upon assumptions initiated for beams by Bernoulli but first applied
    to plates and shells by Love and Kirchhoff. This theory is known as Kirchhoff’s plate theory. Basically,
    three assumptions are used to reduce the equations of three dimensional theory of elasticity to two
    dimensions.

    1. The line normal to the neutral axis before bending remains straight after bending.

    2. The normal stress in thickness direction is neglected. i.e., 0 σ z = . This assumption converts the 3D
    problem into a 2D problem.

    3. The transverse shearing strains are assumed to be zero. i.e., shear strains γxz and γyz will be zero.
    Thus, thickness of the plate does not change during bending.
    Reissner–Mindlin plate theory is applied for analysis of thick plates, where the shear deformations are
    considered, rotation and lateral deflections are decoupled. It does not require the cross-sections to be
    perpendicular to the axial forces after deformation. It basically depends on following assumptions, 1.
    The deflections of the plate are small. 2. Normal to the plate mid-surface before deformation remains
    straight but is not necessarily normal to it after deformation. 3. Stresses normal to the mid-surface are
    negligible.

    COLUMN BUCKLING Vs. PLATE BUCKLING

    Steel plates are widely used in buildings, bridges, automobiles and ships. Unlike beams and columns,
    which have lengths longer than the other two dimensions and so are modeled as linear members, steel
    plates have widths comparable to their lengths and so are modeled as two-dimensional plane members.
    Just as long slender columns undergo instability in the form of buckling, steel plates under membrane
    compression also tend to buckle out of their plane. The buckled shape depends on the loading and
    support conditions in both length and width directions.

    However, unlike columns, plates continue to carry loads even after buckling in a stable manner. Their
    post-buckling strengths, especially in the case of slender plates, can thus be substantially greater than
    the corresponding buckling strengths. This property is of great interest to structural engineers as it can
    be utilized to their advantage.
