Buckling analysis of laminated plates by wavelets

This paper addresses, for the first time, the buckling analysis of isotropic and laminated plates that are subjected to partial inplane edge loads by a first-order shear deformation theory. The numerical approach is based on collocation with wavelets. It is shown that the present method produces highly accurate critical loads and modes.
