In this paper, explicit local buckling analysis of orthotropic plates subjected to uniaxial compression with two loaded edges simply-supported and two unloaded edges supported by combined vertical and rotational restraining springs is presented. Based on the total potential energy function, the eigenvalue problem is formulated by treating the buckled shape functions as the admissible functions that satisfy the boundary conditions of the rectangular plates. Closed-form and approximate local buckling solutions of the combined rotationally- and vertically-restrained orthotropic plates, as well as explicit formulas for the critical buckling load and critical aspect ratio under the uniform compression, are obtained. By adjusting the stiffness of the rotational and vertical restraining springs, explicit local buckling solutions are established for eight simple cases of boundary conditions. To verify the explicit solutions, numerical analyses of orthotropic plates using the exact transcendental and finite element methods are conducted, for which reasonable agreement has been obtained between the explicit and numerical solutions, particularly for the simplified cases. The explicit solution obtained in this study can be used to facilitate the buckling analysis of composite laminated structures with different boundary conditions or joint connections as parts of stiffened and thin-walled structures by treating them as discrete plates with restrained boundary conditions.

Based on the 3D finite element model of the wind power tower, buckling behavior of the wind power tower in different wind directions is analyzed, and the effect considering geometry nonlinearity and considering the material and geometry nonlinearity to the buckling analysis is studied. The results show when the ratio of the radius of the tower drum and the length of the element is 18.75, the calculated precision can reach 95%. Local buckling of the wind power tower first appears, and buckling load and displacement considering the material and geometric nonlinearity reduce 52% and 58% compared with that only considering geometry nonlinearity. The linear and nonlinear buckling load of the wind power tower which is 90° sidewind are 1.8 and 1.2 times than those facing the wind direction.
