Abstract

The paper is concerned with elastic buckling behavior of uniaxially loaded skew plates with openings. Simply supported and clamped plates subject to uniaxial compression in the longitudinal direction are studied. Two different shapes of openings, circular and skew of different sizes, are considered. The finite element software package ABAQUS has been employed to analyze the plates. Effects of parameters such as skew angle, size, shape and position of openings and aspect ratio of the plates are examined. Results are presented in the form of plots showing the variation of buckling coefficient against the parameters studied.
