Ultimate strength of square plate with rectangular opening under axial compression

Finite Plate with Circular and Square Hole under Partial Loading

In this paper a general analytical solution is obtained to find stress distribution in a finite elastic plate with a circular or square hole subjected to arbitrary biaxial partial loading using modified boundary condition by assuming plane stress conditions. The method employed is based on solution of circular hole in finite rectangular plate. This plate is mapped to circular ones and the parti...

Ultimate strength analysis of composite sections under biaxial bending and axial load

A new generic fiber model algorithm is presented that allows for the efficient analysis of arbitrary composite sections under biaxial bending and axial load. The geometry of the cross section is described by multi-nested curvilinear polygons i.e. closed polygons with edges that are straight lines or circular arcs. The polygons may be convex or concave and may contain openings. The stress–strain...

Effect of Through Stationary Edge and Center Cracks on Static Buckling Strength of Thin Plates under Uniform Axial Compression

Thin plate structures are more widely used in many engineering applications as one of the structural members. Generally, buckling strength of thin shell structures is the ultimate load carrying capacity of these structures. The presence of cracks in a thin shell structure can considerably affect its load carrying capacity. Hence, in this work, static buckling strength of a thin square plate wit...

ultimate flexural strength of plate girders under the effect of weld crack in flange toe

the plate girders are used in important structural systems. the earlier design of plate girders was restricted to their critical bukling capacity. experimental and theoretical studies show the plate girders with vertical stiffners can carry load over than their critical buckling loads and then in modern design codes is permitted to use post- buckling capacity of them. in this case the out- of- ...
