DOI: 10.1016/j.tws.2020.107134
Abstract: Abstract The critical local buckling instability of simply supported sinusoidal panels subjected to in-plane shear loading is investigated semi-analytically using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. Due to significant weight-strength saving and increased out-of-plane rigidity, these thin corrugated… read more here.
