Abstract: A geometrically nonlinear model is developed to investigate the buckling behaviour of plates with a pre-existing delamination under uniaxial compression. The Rayleigh–Ritz procedure, based ...

5. Describe the fundamentals of plate theory and evaluate deflections in thin plates under transverse loads using Navier’s method and Rayleigh-Ritz energy method. 6. Apply the Rayleigh-Ritz method to ...
