On the tolerance modelling of geometrically nonlinear thin periodic plates.

There are considered thin periodic plates with moderately large deflections. To take into account the effect of the microstructure on behaviour of these plates the tolerance modelling method is applied, cf. Domagalski and Jędrysiak [2] , Meccanica, 2012. This method makes it possible to derive model equations with constant coefficients involving terms dependent of the microstructure size. The paper contains an computational example of critical load calculations and postbuckling analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
