Buckling of thick skew plates

The paper considers the elastic buckling of thick skew plates. Up to now, very little work has been done on this subject and the paper aspires to fill this gap. Based on the principle of stationary total potential energy and the recently developed pb‐2 Rayleigh‐Ritz method as a solution procedure, buckling solutions for skew plates of various aspect ratios, skew angles and boundary conditions are determined. The tabulation of these results, not available thus far, should be useful to designers and researchers who may use them as benchmark values to test the validity and convergence of their numerical techniques and softwares for thick plate analysis.
