Creep Buckling of Viscoelastic Plate Consdering Higher Order Modes
Abstract
The creep buckling of viscoelastic rectangular plates under axial compression is analysed. A standard linear viscoelastic solid model is used and the von Karman nonlinear geometry equations are introduced in the governing equations. In order to obtain an accurate solution, the deflection function is expressed as four terms during the calculation. Four deflection coefficient-time curves and deflection of the plate are obtained
