This paper reports the intermediate results of the research project on loading capability and buckling of plastic containers, carried out in the Laboratory of Mechanical Reliability (LMB) of TU Delft. Based on the earlier developed non-linear visco-elasticity model for engineering plastics, the FE simulation of the delayed in time buckling of plastic strips have been performed as a first step toward the understanding and predicting creepbuckling behaviour of plastic carriers.}, type={Article}, title={Fem modelling of buckling and post-buckling behaviour of plastic strips}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/125352/PDF/3_MECHANICAL_47_2000_2_Spoormaker_FEM.pdf}, keywords={FEM modelling, non-linear visco-elasticity, buckling}, }
