Buckling of a Plate
Buckling of a Plate
(OP)
Just looking for some good recommendations for literature or resources on steel plate buckling. This would be for situations with pin-pin or fix-fix plates in compression. Either from bending or just straight axial load. Just wondering what you guys use.

AISC has information on thin compression elements that can be used in some cases. Or if two sides of a plate were free, it could be treated as a column.

If it's a structural application, a flat plate will usually be a part of a beam or composite girder, and buckling would be treated accordingly. AISC ASD/LRFD has design criteria for thin compression elements that would be applicable.
If it's shaped into a cylinder, that's a different issue, and a number of tank and vessel codes as well as AISC have guidelines for compressive buckling or external pressure buckling.

Look for Timoshenko's book, Plate and Shell Theory. It can be a little hard to read at times.

If you just want the answers, Roarks is one way to go. I don't have a copy but have often borrowed my neighbors.
RE: Buckling of a Plate
The AISI also has similar provisions for plate buckling. I wuold do the same, check out what references were used to derive the code equations.
Books on plate and shell theory and theory of elasticity are also good bets, but put your thinking cap on to go through them.

Buckling of all shapes of plates with all boundary conditions and varying applied loads are covered. It's an aerospace manual but a plate is a plate no matter what industry.
