Abstract In the buckling of “sandwich plates” with a relatively easily deformed interior, or core, material, the core is not stiff enough to keep plane sections plane when the bending occurs. The core must then be analyzed according to the equations of plane strain, but the fact that the bending takes place in the presence of thrust means that terms representing the destabilizing tendency of the thrust must be included. The resulting problem is solved in the present paper for a sandwich plate in “cylindrical buckling”—that is in a mode analogous to that of the hinged column.
