Abstract Ships, ship-shaped offshore structures, land-based structures and aerospace structures typically consist of various curved plate components. It is difficult to simulate the buckling and post-buckling of curved thin and/or thick plates that have characteristics of nonlinear structural mechanics, such as nonlinear behaviour when loading is applied. The elastic post-buckling behaviour of a curved plate is very complex, and accompanied by mode changes due to the occurrence of secondary buckling behaviour. Therefore, it is very important to clarify the elastic post-buckling behaviour when subjected to axial loading. The aim of this study was to derive an More >
