Abstract
This paper analyzes the stability of the elastic rectangular thin plates with sinusoidal changes in the plate thickness. The buckling load is defined in a weighted residual approach for different boundary conditions. The influence of the plate thickness variation and the edge ratio on the critical loads is investigated. The results are compared to the case of uniform thickness.
