Abstract
The Mindlin plate theory which includes the effects of transverse shear deformations and rotary inertia is used to study deflections and vibrations of a buckled plate. The nonlinear governing differential equations based on the von Karman's assumptions and the Galerkin finite element procedures are employed to study the postbuckling behavior of a thick plate. The nine noded Lagrange element and the reduced integration technique are used in the finite element method. The influence of transverse shear deformation on the post-buckling behavior is found to be significant. The effects of other parameters are also studied.
