BUCKLING COEFFICIENTS OF VARIOUSLY SUPPORTED SKEW PLATES

The buckling problems of skew plates with different edge Support conditions involving simple support and clamping are considered. The in-plane stresses are represented in terms of oblique components. Rayleigh-Ritz method is used employing a double series of functions appropriate to the combination of the edge conditions. Numerical results are presented for several  combinations of side ratio, skew angle and different loadings.
