7 INTRODUCTION TO PLATE BUCKLING - Steel ..." INSDAG

INTRODUCTION TO PLATE BUCKLING Variation of k, the plate buckling coefficient, with aspect ratio (the ratio of the length, a, to the width, b) is shown in Fig. 3 for m=1,2,3, etc.It can be seen that the lowest value of the buckling coefficient is obtained for integral values of the aspect ratio.
