Buckling of Triangular Plates
Buckling of Triangular Plates
(OP)
I have a shear panel which approximates a triangle in shape, height a, base b. I want to find the critical shear buckling stress.
I have some buckling curves for rectangular panels in shear but I think if I idealise my triangular panel as a rectangular panel of dimensions a and b then that will give me a very conservative result.
I seem to recall a method of idealising the triangular panel as a rectangular panel of dimensions 0.67a and 0.67b ie a smaller rectangle, and then using the buckling curves for a rectangular panel to estimate my buckling stress.
Can anyone suggest a better method?
