Buckling and free vibration behavior of an isotropic plate under nonuniform thermal load

TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulation studies on buckling and free vibration characteristics of isotropic plates under arbitrarily varying temperature distributions using finite element method (FEM) are presented, where the critical buckling temperature is obtained, followed by modal analysis considering pre-stress due to the thermal field in the plate, with the criticalbuckling temperature as a parameter.

Buckling and vibration of in-plane loaded plates treated by a unified Ritz approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of the buckling and lateral vibration of rectangular plates subject to in-plane loads is treated by using a Ritz approach for both the determination of the middle surface stresses caused by the inplane loading and the analysis of the consequent out-of-plane buckled and vibrational characteristics of the plates.
