Nonconservative stability problems for axially compressed rectangular plate

For investigation of nonconservative stability problems for beams, in general case, as it is well known, the dynamic approach is necessary. In this paper, stability problems for rectangular plates are considered. One of the edges of the plate is under compressive load, and displacements and turns of these edges are not constrained. On the other edges of plate several different boundary conditions are considered. The compressive load may have both ´follower´ and ´non-follower´ components.
