Numerical Analysis of Plate Buckling Under Uniaxial and Biaxial Compression: Effects of Geometry, Imperfections, and Shell Modeling
The buckling response of plates is governed by their geometric and material characteristics, loading conditions, and initial imperfections, while its numerical prediction is also influenced by modeling assumptions. Using finite element simulations in ANSYS Mechanical APDL, this study investigates the effects of shell r...
