The following article investigates nonlinear symmetric buckling of moderately thick circular Nano plates with an orthotropic property under uniform radial compressive in-plane mechanical load. Taking into account Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory, principle of virtual work, first order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) and nonlinear Von-Karman strains, the governing equations are obtained ...

the plate girders are used in important structural systems. the earlier design of plate girders was restricted to their critical bukling capacity. experimental and theoretical studies show the plate girders with vertical stiffners can carry load over than their critical buckling loads and then in modern design codes is permitted to use post- buckling capacity of them. in this case the out- of- ...

In this study, the buckling response of homogeneous circular plates with variable thickness subjected to radial compression based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory in conjunction with von-Karman nonlinear strain-displacement relations is investigated. Furthermore, optimal thickness distribution over the plate with respect to buckling is presented. In order to determine the distr...

This paper deals with the approximation of the buckling coefficients and modes of a clamped plate modeled by the Reissner-Mindlin equations. These coefficients are related with the eigenvalues of a non-compact operator. We give a spectral characterization of this operator and show that the relevant buckling coefficients correspond to isolated nondefective eigenvalues. Then we consider the numer...

Passive protection systems based on the use of metal shear panels represent an effective way for achieving a significant improvement of the seismic response of buildings. Nevertheless, the dissipative capacity of these devices could be limited by buckling phenomena. In order to reduce the influence of instability, "Buckling Inhibited Shear Panels" have been recently introduced as an innovative ...

In this study, non-linear behavior of diagonally stiffened steel plate shear walls as a seismic resisting system has been investigated, and theoretical formulas for estimating shear strength capacity of the system have been proposed. Several validated analytical finite element models of steel shear walls with various stiffener dimensions are generated to verify and compare the analytical and th...

Problem statement: Rectangular steel plates are widely used in various steel structures and steel industries. For a proper design of steel plate structures and efficient use of material, the behavior, strength, buckling and post-buckling characteristics of plates should be accurately determined. Approach: Considering the significance of this matter, lateral vibration of thick rectangular plates...
