Cutouts are commonly found in aerospace, ships, and marine structures, which have a great influence on mechanical properties such as stress concentration, natural frequency, and structural load-bearing performance of the structure. In this study, buckling behaviors of a square plate with a circular flanged cutout at the center are explored numerically, aiming to address the influence of different cutout parameters on the elastic and elasto-plastic buckling behaviors of the perforated plate. The flanged-perforated plate is subjected to uniaxial compressive loads, and the four edges are simply supported in the out-of-plane direction. The influence of various cutout parameters on the elastic and elasto-plastic buckling behaviors of the perforated plate is examined through a series of buckling analysis. In addition, structural weight reduction of the uniaxial compressed perforated square plates is carried out under the constraint of the elastic buckling stress of the plate structure. The findings indicate that different cutout parameters have a significant impact on the buckling performance of the plate. Perforated plates with flanging exhibit higher buckling strength than those without flanging, and variations in plate geometric parameters (such as the plate slenderness ratio and cutout radius ratio) are associated with increases in elastic buckling stress and elasto-plastic ultimate strength. The results of this paper can provide references for the design of flanged-cutouts in engineering.
In order to address the impact of the perforated parameters on the mechanical properties of the plate, the ultimate strength of hyper-ellipse flanged-perforated plates under uniaxial compression stress is numerically investigated in this article. The four edges of the flanged-perforated plate are only supported in the out-of-plane direction while the plate is exposed to uniaxial compressive loads. The impact of the cutout size, flange height, cutout position, rotation angle, and cutout form on the ultimate bearing capacity of the perforated plate with varied thicknesses is investigated and compared through a series of elasto-plastic buckling analyses using the ANSYS software. The structure’s stress and deformation analysis is then used to explain the results of the ultimate strength test. The flange efficiently raises the maximum bearing strength of the structure with cutouts. For the limit strength of thick plate, the cutout size, elliptical shape, cutout rotation angle, and cutout position have considerably more of an impact than they do on the maximum bearing capacity of thin plate. The findings can assist the structural layout of this sort of perforated plate, and the right cutout parameters should be chosen in accordance with the various performance specifications.
