stress distribution N x ( y) is applied. The technique employed is to introduce a multiplier g and obtain the form of solution © 2001 IoM Communications Ltd.for an applied stress gN x. The homogeneous equation governing the deflection has only a zero solution for small values of g. As g is increased possible non-zero, i.e. buckled solutions, can occur. The minimum value of g such that
