Abstract
It is well known that flat plates subjected to tensile loads
may buckle locally in the presence of geometric discontinuities
such as cracks or holes. However it appears
to be surprising that even in the absence of any geometric
discontinuity, buckling due to global tension occurs as a
result of special boundary conditions. In real live this effect
can be observed during the stretching of thin strips,
where high wave number buckling modes can affect large
areas. In order to study this phenomenon and to find explanations,
computational investigations were performed
and analytical estimates have been derived. A novel diagram
for buckling coefficients is presented, enabling a
simple determination of critical longitudinal stresses.
