Thank you! I am now reading some relevant books and articles. Hope I can solve it soon. :smile:

paisiello 2, thanks for your reply :smile:. Pardon me that I may have a typing mistake of mode shape in my post. I am not doing vibration analysis, so don't need to calculate mode shape, right? (Please correct me if I am wrong). If i just need to know the deflection equation of the three segment...

When buckling plate of both ends fixed, the deflection and the mode shape of the plate can be found from the equation: y=M(1-cos mx)/P. With this equation, the cross sectional area and the young's modulus of the plate is usually unchange. However, if the flexural rigidity of the plate is divided...
