This paper presents a general procedure for calculating the buckling of stiffened skew plates by the Rayleigh‐Ritz method with B ‐spline functions as co‐ordinate functions. Convergence of the solutions is investigated in a few typical cases and is found satisfactory. The results are compared with existing values based on other numerical methods and found to be in good agreement. Buckling characteristics of stiffened skew plates are also studies with varying stiffness parameters of stiffeners, skew angles and aspect ratios.
