AbstractA simple and efficient numerical technique for the buckling analysis of thin elastic plates of arbitrary shape is proposed. The approach is based upon the combination of the standard Finite Element Method with the constant deflection contour method. Several representative plate problems of irregular boundaries are treated and where possible, the obtained results are validated against corresponding results in the literature.
