This study concentrates on a comparison between steel plate and stiffened panels subject to
localised corrosion. A finite element analysis is used to investigate the effect of random …

The paper presents experimental and finite element analyses of the ultimate strength of a
stiffened panel with a large opening on the plating and multi small openings on the …

Circular holes can be commonly found in the web of cold-formed steel beams to
accommodate services such as electric wires and pipelines. The presence of holes will …

The collapse behaviour of stiffened panels under uniaxial compression load and lateral
pressure are investigated in the FE analysis, in which two spans model with periodical …

Thin plates are widely used in various engineering applications. In some cases, these
structural components may buckle due to compressive loads, which can be aggravated by …

This study proposes an empirical formulation to assess the ultimate strength of side shells
on passenger ships subjected to combined effects of axial compression and shear loads …

The behaviour and ultimate strength of locally damaged plate panels is investigated in this
study. The damage is in the form of a local imperfection and represents a dent that could be …

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) stiffened composite plates with and without
rectangular cutout are analysed under axial, lateral and combined axial and lateral loading …

This work investigates the compressive load carrying capability of experimentally tested
reinforced steel panels with a large lightening opening. A series of experiments have been …

The aim of this paper is to develop computational models for the ultimate compressive
strength analysis of stiffened plate panels with nonuniform thickness. Modeling welding …
