Stress Analysis II: L-17 Stability - Buckling of Flat Plates

This video explains how to evaluate the stability of columns and flat plates. Stability of columns was covered in basic structural mechanics and mechanics of materials texts, but it is useful to review this topic before continuing into the topic of stability of flat plates since these two behaviors are so similar. After mastering this topic, continue on to learn about the following stability topics: L-18 Crippling of thin flanged sections L-19 Effective Sheet Widths & Inter-Rivet Buckling L-20 Euler Johnson's Equation L-21 Buckling of Cylinders L-22 Buckling of Curved Panels By Dr. Todd Coburn Recorded: 21 March 2020.
