Abstract
By means of the theory of elasticity, we investigate the structural instability of a parallel array of identical simply-supported plates. One plate interacts with the neighboring plates through surface attractive forces. The proposed method is based on the 2 × 2 transfer matrix for a plate and on the solution of the generalized eigenvalue problem for the plate array. Analytical expressions of the critical interaction coefficients for two, three and four interacting plates are obtained when the end-effect of the plates at the ends of the parallel array and the surface energy of the plates are ignored. The influence of the end-effect and surface energy on the critical interaction coefficient is also numerically studied. Our solution is valid whether the plates are thin or extremely thick.
期刊介绍：
Archives of Mechanics provides a forum for original research on mechanics of solids, fluids and discrete systems, including the development of mathematical methods for solving mechanical problems. The journal encompasses all aspects of the field, with the emphasis placed on:
-mechanics of materials: elasticity, plasticity, time-dependent phenomena, phase transformation, damage, fracture; physical and experimental foundations, micromechanics, thermodynamics, instabilities;
-methods and problems in continuum mechanics: general theory and novel applications, thermomechanics, structural analysis, porous media, contact problems;
-dynamics of material systems;
-fluid flows and interactions with solids.
Papers published in the Archives should contain original contributions dealing with theoretical, experimental, or numerical aspects of mechanical problems listed above.
The journal publishes also current announcements and information about important scientific events of possible interest to its readers, like conferences, congresses, symposia, work-shops, courses, etc.
Occasionally, special issues of the journal may be devoted to publication of all or selected papers presented at international conferences or other scientific meetings. However, all papers intended for such an issue are subjected to the usual reviewing and acceptance procedure.
