Abstract
Abstract
While numerous papers have been published on the stability of sandwich plates in compression, Fig. 1, so far, attention has almost exclusively been focused on the problem of finding the critical load under which the plate becomes unstable, assuming that the dimensions and the materials are given. Some 7 or 8 years ago the author realized that this is not enough for practical purposes. The engineer needs some advice as to how the dimensions of a plate should be chosen in order to obtain a favorable relation between its weight and the load carried. The method used in answering this question will be explained in this paper.
