Abstract
A theoretical analysis is presented for the behaviour after buckling o f intermediately stiffened plates loaded in compression. The loaded an d unloaded edges are simply supported but the unloaded edges are free to wave in the plane of the plates. A semi-energy method of analysis, based on the von Karman's compatibility equation and the principle of minimum total potential energy, is used. The results are presented gra phically for a range of plate aspect ratios and stiffener sizes and co mparison is made with experimental results.
