Low cost and increasing capability favour the use of mini‐computers as design tools. The 336 statement Fortran program which is listed and explained was developed to use such small computers efficiently. It calculates the buckling stresses, or the natural frequencies of vibration, of prismatic assemblies of longitudinally compressed isotropic plates. Various refinements have been used to keep the array requirements very small, including the ability to handle sub‐structures very flexibly and to use radial and tangential axes to define polygonal sub‐structures or structures.
