SSLS110 - Stability of a compressed square plate




Summary:

A homogeneous isotropic linear plate square elastic simply pressed on its four sides is subjected
with a linear compressive force acting on two on its sides.

One calculates the critical loads leading to the elastic buckling of the plate. The matrix of rigidity
geometrical used in the resolution of the problem to the eigenvalues is that which is due to the stresses
initial.

Problem of reference
1.1 Geometry
Because of the geometrical and physical symmetry of the problem, only the quarter of the plate is
modelized. By taking account the conditions of symmetry, one can collect only the only modes of
buckling symmetrical.

1.4 Remarks
It is not possible to solve the problem of deformation of compression without introducing them
conditions of symmetry. Indeed, to impose boundary conditions of symmetry for a quarter of
plate amounts eliminating the modes from rigid body for the complete plate.

Results of reference
Certain modes corresponding to the critical loads of the analytical solution are not
symmetrical and cannot be collected with the conditions of symmetry for a quarter of plate.
The Values of the critical loads obtained thus correspond to the first 3 symmetrical modes
of buckling:
·
Mode 1 of the quarter of the plate = Mode 1 of all the plate
·
Mode 2 of the quarter of the plate = Mode 3 of all the plate
·
Mode 3 of the quarter of the plate = Mode 5 of all the plate
2.3
Uncertainty on the solution
Exact solution for a theory of plate without transverse shearing.

Summary of the results
The results obtained are very satisfactory for the two types of elements, QUAD9 and TRIA7, even
if it is necessary to employ a greater number of elements triangles.
