Abstract

This paper deals with the determination of numerical and experimental buckling loads for circular plates. In the study, plates made of isotropic material and laminated composites were taken into consideration. For the experimental part of the study, a buckling apparatus for circular plates (BACIP) was designed and manufactured to apply radial compression on plates simply supported along the outer edge, which was the most important aspect of the study. Experimental buckling loads were determined by connecting this apparatus to a tension machine. ANSYS software based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the analytical buckling load formula found in textbooks were also used for the determination of the numerical and analytical buckling loads. The effects of parameters such as plate thickness, number of layers, cutout sizes, and so on on critical buckling loads were investigated within the scope of the work. Comparisons of analytical, theoretical and experimental buckling loads were presented in both graphical and tabular form. The results of the experimental and theoretical buckling were found to be comparatively compatible.
