Referee's report by Louis Napoleon George Filon, on a paper 'The elastic stability of a long and slightly bent rectangular plate under uniform shear' by D M A Leggett

Reference number: RR/64/100

Date: 14 March 1937

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London', with hesitation. The paper applies a known method to a new particular case, and would not have been accepted by the Royal Society 30 years previously. There is no novelty to the mathematics, and the case it is applied to is not of sufficient interest. Howver, as previous papers of this type have been published in the Proceedings, a standard has been set.
