ABSTRACT
The buckling loads and the post-buckling behaviour of the imperfect delaminated plate are investigated in the paper. For this purpose the concise formulations are presented to derive pre- and post-buckling behaviour of plates with embedded delaminations. The computations are made by means of FE package NISA II and Mathematica package. The obtained results for buckling loads and the post-buckling behaviour are compared with the results for perfect delaminated plates.
