Sheet #4 - Stiffened Plates

The document summarizes equations for calculating buckling limits of stiffened and unstiffened plates, beams, and columns. It provides the Johnson-Ostenfeld equation for calculating the critical buckling stress of plates. It also outlines equations for calculating the effective width of plating, as well as the buckling limits of pin-ended columns using Johnson's equation. Finally, it lists the equation for calculating the critical buckling stress of simply supported stiffened plates.

Sheet (5): Stiffened plates
1. The shown stiffened panel in the side structure of a container ship is subjected to a uniformly
distributed average pressure of 150 KPA. Consider the unstiffened plate and the longitudinal
stiffeners with attached plating assuming plate to be fully effective. Will they fail?
(E = 200 GPA, yield stress = 312 MPA (HTS), v = 0.3 and frame spacing = 3270 mm)

2. The deck stiffened panel shown in figure is subjected to a uniform longitudinal compressive
stress of 180 N/mm2 . For the transverse beam, the attached plating is assumed to be 90 %
effective. Assume all edges are simply supported. What are the buckling limit states to take into
consideration?. Which represent the critical failure mode?
(Yield stress = 235 N/mm2 and E = 2.06 x 105 N/mm2 )
