Plastic shear buckling of unstiffened stocky plates

Buckling and yielding behavior of unstiffened slender, moderate, and stocky low yield point steel plates

“…Based on the material and geometrical properties, material yielding may occur either before or after or even at the same time as buckling [3].…”

“…Additionally, Alinia and his co-researchers have recently performed and reported systematic studies, e.g. [3,4] and Gheitasi and Alinia [14], on the structural behavior and characteristics of plates. In all, the research work in cases of both thin and thick plates has by and large resulted in a sufficient knowledge base to allow for structural application of these elements.…”

Shear buckling and ultimate capacity of steel plates coupled with cover panels

“…A few methods on delaying the onset of buckling in order to reach the full plastic state of plates and to provide the highest possible energy dissipation have previously been considered. These methods include the increase of plate thickness [11], the use of composite structural elements [12], and the addition of heavy stiffeners [13][14][15].…”

On the design of stiffeners in steel plate shear walls

“…More recently, the present first author and his colleagues have been investigating the various aspects of stiffened and unstiffened shear panels [6,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The optimisation of transverse stiffeners in plate girders was discussed in [16].…”

“…The effect of surrounding members on the buckling and postbuckling capacities of shear panels was presented in [17][18][19]. Deformability and rigidity of stiffened shear panels under cyclic loading were evaluated in [20]; plastic buckling of stocky plates under pure shear was studied in [21]; and the degradation of shear panels due to crack defects were discussed in [22][23][24].…”
