Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Plate Theory II

This is the second part of Plate Theory. In this lecture the Energy-Navier solution will be derived and the Buckling will be explained.

The Energy-Navier solution is obtained by first deriving the total potential energy. Then the equilibrium equations are constructed. After that the Navier- solution is explained. For the calculation of the pressure coefficients two cases are considered, the uniform pressure and the concentrated force. The second section of this lecture deals with Buckling of plates. Firstly, the use of moderate rotation will be tought. Secondly, the equilibrium equations are constructed. Using these knowledge buckling will be discussed. Uniaxial compression is taken as a case study for buckling. Finally, this lecture will look to the relation between buckling and energy.
