Abstract:Stiffeners are typically used to strengthen structures that rely on plates for load bearing. Such structures are subjected to various kinds of in-plane and out-of-plane loading over its lifespan. Furthermore, cutouts in aerospace structures are considered for practical and design reasons. In the present paper, finite element method is used for the analysis of a flat rectangular stiffened plate. Static analysis is performed on three panels with different stiffener cross sections (I section, hat section and rect… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
