1.Pure Bending of thin plate Plates

If thin plate is exposed to two moments (Mx,My). Assuming edges won’t have any rotation except about the
perpendicular surface. so, as this plate is thin, there won’t be any deformation at the mid plane surface as the
thickness is too thin so the span to thickness is too big so there will be pure deflection without any type of warping
or small value of warping.

if the deflection is small ratio to the thickness. In this case we must consider the deformation when
calculating deflection.

2.Bending of thin plate Plates due to lateral load

we can calculate shear forces by integrating shear stresses by the plate thickness as the following:

THIN-WALLED STEEL STRUCTURES CES555 BENDING AND BUCKLING OF THIN PLATES 8


2.Bending of thin plate Plates due to lateral load

From equilibrium equations, we deduce that the summation of forces due to shear equals 0. So,
the internal stresses must equal 0

II. Bending Due to Distributed Lateral Loading
The strain energy due to Mxy dy =

The same amount of energy will be produced also by the couples Myx dx,
so the strain energy due to both twisting couples is :

The total strain energy of an element of a plate is obtained by adding


together the energy of bending and the energy of twist.
Neglecting the strain energy due to shearing
forces Qx and Qy, we find that the strain energy
of the element is equal to the work done on the
element by the bending moment Mx dy and My
dx and By twisting moments Mxy dy and Myx dx.

4.Buckling of Plates by Shearing Forces
I. Buckling Phenomena – Rigid Bodies
The question of the stability of various forms of equilibrium of a compressed bar (or plates) can
be investigated by using the same methods as are used in investigating the equilibrium
configurations of rigid-body systems.
a- Any displacement increases the potential energy
of the ball, and the ball will return to the minimum
potential position.
b- Any small displacement decrease the potential
energy of the ball, and the ball will not return. The
ball is in the maximum potential energy position.
c- Potential energy is unaffected by any displacement
of the ball.
Thus for the case of stable equilibrium, the potential energy is a minimum

4.Buckling of Plates by Shearing Forces
I. Buckling Phenomena – Compressed Column
Stability of the ball in the previous discussion depends on the surface shape. However, the stability of
a compressed column depends on the magnitude of the load carried. For small values of P, the bar
will return to its straight position upon any disturbance. At a load P slightly larger than the critical
(neutral) load value, the bar will not return to its straight position.
The small displacement the load P moves downward is :

Work done by load is:

Strain Energy of the spring (of constant beta) is:

I. Buckling Phenomena – Compressed Beam
The problem is similar to the previous one. However, unlike the single degree of freedom
compressed column, here exists two degrees of freedom attached to two springs of equal
constant. The beam will buckle in the lowest of the two mode shapes (b) or (c).

The small displacement the load P moves left is :

4.Buckling of Plates by Shearing Forces
I. Buckling Phenomena – Flexural Buckling
In previous discussions of bar and spring systems, by studying the slightly deformed configuration.
Displacements were related to the deformed configuration in a straightforward manner by the use of
trigonometry. Therefore, the strain energy was easily calculated by considering displacements at
springs location. Also, the work was easily established by considering displacement at the point of
load application. However, in the case of continuous systems such as the flexural buckling of a
column, the problem get a little complicated.

II. Buckling of Plates
To study the problem of the buckling of simply supported plates under shearing forces. It is
insightful to investigate the source causing compression forces. Recall that an element under
pure shear is in reality under compression and tension stresses (principle stresses) when looked
at from transformed coordinates..
