With plate-buckling
problem still being an active area of research in the field of mechanics of
materials, researchers need to validate the proposed solutions and theories,
using robust analysis tools such like ANSYS, which is a robust finite element
analysis tool. This article investigates modeling and buckling analysis of
rectangular plates in ANSYS mechanical APDL through a series of comparative
studies conducted on various models and options. Shell and solid models of homogeneous
and functionally graded plate (FGP) using various elements are investigated.
Expressing boundary conditions on both shell and solid models of plate for
buckling analysis is discussed. Procedures of buckling analysis in ANSYS are
presented and effects of meshing, boundary conditions and element options are
examined though comparative studies. Results obtained from ANSYS are compared
to various analytical solutions.
