LINEARIZED LEAST-SQUARES TECHNIQUE FOR EVALUATING PLATE-BUCKLING LOADS

The new linearized least squares technique for evaluating a plate's experimental buckling load from recorded load-lateral deflection data is described. The linearity is achieved through a change of parameters in the governing nonlinear plate equations, and results in a straightforward and simple technique. The paper describes the theory and applications. Results from linearized least-squares agree extremely well with predictions from the more computationally involved nonlinear methods, particualrly in cases where the experimental data are fairly well behaved.
