Question

A uniform thin rectangular plate is subjected to uniformly distributed loading N1. Find the critical value of N1 for buckling of the plate when all the edges are clamped. Determine-
a) Assumed deflected shape (w)
b) Strain Energy (U)
c) Potential Energy (V)
d) Total Energy (T)
e) Critical Buckling stress if (a=b)​

Answer 1

(b) Strain Energy(U)

Explanation:

A critical value is scientifically determined a given uniform thin rectangular used to evaluate the impact of strain energy impact on a given surface after being exposed to an external force. it is the point at which a metal is no longer recoverable to its original state

When a metal is exposed to an external physical force, strain energy is applied to the metal.

Here, uniform thin rectangular plate is uniformly distributed loading and all edges of rectangular is clamped.The external loading creates strain energy(U) of critical value.
