INFLUENCE OF BUCKLING FORMS INTERACTION ON STIFFENED PLATE BEARING CAPACITY

摘要

The work is devoted to studying the influence of initial geometric imperfections on a value of the peak load for the compressed stiffened plate with the two-fold buckling load. The finite-element set MSC PATRAN – NASTRAN was used for solving the set tasks. When modelling the stiffened plate, flat four-unit elements were used. Geometric non-linearity was assumed for calculations. The plate material was regarded as perfectly elastic. Buckling forces of stiffened plate at the two-fold buckling load were calculated (simultaneous buckling failure on the form of the plate total bending and on the local form of wave formation in stiffened ribs). Equilibrium state curves, peak load decline curves depending on initial imperfection values and the bifurcation surface were plotted.
