    Combined Compressive-Shear Buckling

    From Bruhn, eq.C5.11: Rs + RL^2 = 1 is the criteria for combined shear and longitudinal stress. This is from NACA-ARR-3K13 "Critical stress for an infinitely long flat plate with elastically restrained edges under combined shear and direct stress", this is for constraints against rotations on...

    Simply Supported Boundary Conditions

    I am attempting to model the buckling of a plate subject to the following loading conditions Uniaxial loading Biaxial loading Shear loading Uniaxial-Shear loading Biaxial-Shear loading See attached image (shows Biaxial-Shear Case)...

    Stealth and Supersonic Aircraft - Buckling????

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me for sure if skin buckling is permitted to on stealth or supersonic aircraft? I assume it is not allowed on a stealth plane because the skin buckling would cause a change in the skin shape which is important to the stealth characteristics of the plane...

    Tri-element geometric stiffness

    Hi everybody, I am trying to write a small script to determine the total geometric stiffness matrix of a FE model containing only triangular plate elements with bending stiffness similar to the NASTRAN TRIA3 elements. I found several definitions of the geometric stiffness matrix (3x3) of such...
