Tripping is one of buckling modes in stiffened plates which could be occurred in the stiffeners with high flexural rigidity and low torsional rigidity. Rule-base expressions for calculation of sectorial moment of inertia of angle-bar stiffeners are scattered. An expression for calculation of sectorial moment of inertia of angle-bar stiffeners is derived based on energy method and beam theory. Sectorial moment of inertia of different angle-bar stiffeners are calculated and compared with the values calculated by different classification society rules. It is found that some of the rule-based equations for calculation of sectorial moment of inertia of angle-bar stiffeners are inaccurate. Euler tripping stress of different angle bars are calculated by energy method and compared with rule-based equation and finite element method. It is found that, rule-based expression for calculation of polar moment of inertia of angle-bar stiffeners neglects one term, which could lead up to 10% overestimation of Euler tripping stress.
