Summary

The main purpose of this paper is to illustrate the use of the stability functions for long plates in combined compression and shear defined in a previous paper by the authors. The panel is supported on its two edges and on a series of N intermediate simple supports. Each of the two edges is either clamped or simply-supported and numerical results are given for each of the three possible combinations, with varying numbers of supports. In all cases it is found that a simple parabolic interaction formula between shear and compression is extremely accurate. Also simple approximate formulae are given for calculating the wavelength of the buckle and the lead of the nodal lines for any combination of compression, shear, edge conditions and number of supports.
