Abstract: In this paper, applying perturbation method to von Karman nonlinear large deftection equations of plates by taking deflection as perturbation parameter, the postbuckling behavior of simply supported rectangular plates under uniaxiai compression is insestigated. Two types of in-plane bouridary conditions are now considered and the effecis of initial imperfections are also studied. It is found that the theoretical results are?in good agreement with experiments.The method suggested in this paper which has not been found in previous papers is rather simple and easy for the postbuckling analysis of rectangular plates.

Key words: stay cable, transient response, vibration control, non-linearity
