In this paper it is discussed how existing analytical and semi-analytical formulas for describing the elastic-post-buckling behavior of uniformly compressed square plates with initial imperfections, for loads up to three times the buckling load can be simplified and improved. For loads larger than about twice the buckling load the influence of changes in the buckling shape, assumed sinusoidal, cannot be neglected anymore. These changes can be taken into account by using the perturbation approach. The existing and improved formulas are compared to the results of finite element simulations.
