When a strut is loaded in compression it may be unable to support the applied load and fail by Buckling rather than by Plastic Deformation. The buckling process involves the primary elastic response ...

Design studies have been performed for isosceles triangular plates subjected to uniaxial and bi-axial loading. The material system used in this application is AS4/3502 graphite/epoxy with (0, 90)s, (0 ...

Approximate expressions for buckling loads of long rectangular plates with flexural/twist anisotropy and simply supported edges are derived. The novelty of the current approach lies in the use of ...

LAKE HOLCOMBE — The 70-year-old Highway M Bridge in the town of Lake Holcombe reduced its weight limit from 40 tons to 30 tons this week after reports of wrinkling on the bridge stress plates. The 798 ...
