An Updated Design Formula for Predicting the Compressive Strength of Plate: Elastic Buckling and Ultimate Compressive Strength

In the present study, a simplified and useful design formula is proposed to predict the ultimate strength of a plate under longitudinal compression. The shape of the elastic buckling strength (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline&qu...

description In the present study, a simplified and useful design formula is proposed to predict the ultimate strength of a plate under longitudinal compression. The shape of the elastic buckling strength (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>σ</mi><mrow><mi>x</mi><mi>E</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) equation is utilised and adjusted to predict the ultimate compressive strength of the plate. In total, 600 cases of reasonable plate scenarios are selected to update the design formula by broadly considering the plate geometry (i.e., plate length, breadth, and thickness), material property (i.e., elastic modulus and yield strength), and initial deflection.
