The first load is applied uniformly along a part of two opposite edges, the second one has a non-uniform distribution (defined by a half wave of the sink function). The critical load value of the plate is located between the values for uniformly distributed and concentrated load. Critical value of thickness of the plate is determined. The problem is solved by the orthogonalization method, and the results are compared with those of numerical analysis done by means of the finite element method.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Critical state of simply supported elastic rectangular plate under non-uniformly distributed compressive load}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/114971/PDF/AME_2008_131629.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ame.2008.131629}, keywords={buckling, rectangular plates, non-uniformly distributed load}, }
