Abstract :
Using two types of series function,a finite strip method of analysis is developed which enables the elastic local buckling of plates and plate strures with different boundary condition along the loaded ends to be studied.The stability or geomertic matrix is derived and presented in the paper.The accuracy and efficacy of the method is demonstrated with a few illustrative examples.
