The Flexural Bifurcation Condition for a Thin Plate under Thrust.

Abstract

Previous results on the bifurcation condition for a thick elastic plate are specialized to the case where the aspect ratio (thickness/length) tends to zero. It is found that the bifurcation condition is independent of material constants up to terms of fourth order in the aspect ratio and depends on only one material constant up to terms of eighth order.
