Interaction of nearly simultaneous buckling modes in the presence of imperfections is studied. The investigation is concerned with infinitely wide plate with thin-walled stiffeners under uniform compression. The asymptotic expansion established by BYSKOV and HUTCHINSON [1] is also used here. The present paper is devoted to the improved study of equilibrium path in the initial post­buckling behaviour of imperfect structures. The results include effects of interaction of the „primary" local mode and a „secondary" local mode having the same wavelength as the primary one. In this paper the analysis of a few buckling modes interaction is presented.
