Abstract

The design and analysis of stiffened plates by approximate methods and by the finite element method is examined. An actual case study is used where a large circular plate had to be redesigned because after fabrication it was load tested and failed to meet very stringent deflection requirements. The diameter of the plate is 15 feet (4.6 metres) and its cross-section resembles that of a wide flange beam. The plate's top and bottom flanges are continuous while the web consists of a series of radial stiffeners intersected by a set of orthogonal stiffeners. Modelling of the structure for analytical purposes is discussed for a "grillage" model and for the finite element method.
