Abstract
The discrete element displacement method is used to analyse the instability of flat rectangular plates subjected to arbitrary systems of in-plane loading. Critical load intensities calculated in a range of applications, some of which include discrete reinforcing members, are compared with the predictions of past investigators and demonstrate the accuracy of the procedure.Keywords
