Summary

This paper gives some identities concerning the flexibility of certain elastic structures, including flat plates, at the onset of buckling and subsequently. The identities have a useful application in determining the flexibility and the rate of change of flexibility with load for structures in which the mode in the buckled state changes continuously with load.
