Summary

Several plate buckling problems are solved, using a reduction method. By this method the solution of an orthotropic plate can be reduced to the solution of an isotropic plate and the solution of a plate with bi-axial loading can be reduced to the solution of a plate with uni-axial loading and so on. Plates with simply-supported ends and various boundary conditions at the sides with uni-axial and bi-axial loading are considered and the necessary reduction equations are given.
