When a rectangular plate of incompressible neo-Hookean elastic material is subjected to a thrust, bifurcations of the flexural or barreling types become possible at certain critical values of the compression ratio. The states of pure homogeneous deformation corresponding to these critical compressio

โฆ Synopsis
For a thick incompressible hyperelastic plate under biaxial thrust, flexural and constitutive (homogeneous) instabilities are considered. In the present study their interaction (coupling) is discussed, when the critical conditions coincide for both kinds of instabilities. With the help of branching theory, especially the Fredholm Alternative theorem, the interactive post-critical equilibrium configurations are defined.

In this paper the general equations of motion for thick elastic plates with arbitrary shape are derived by using a variational principle. In addition to the influences of the bending, the transverse shear deformation and the rotatory inertia, the proposed theory also contains the effects of the tran
