| Abstract |
This study investigates the influence of stiffeners and their positioning on the bending
behavior of thin stainless-steel plates. Three experimental models were employed: a simple un-stiffened plate, a plate with one stiffener and a plate with two cross stiffeners with clamped boundary conditions. Numerical analysis with ABAQUS software and the C3D8IH solid finite element is carried
out and the obtained results are compared to those found experimentally. The findings reveal that the
introduction of stiffeners significantly enhances the structural rigidity of the plates, leading to reduced
displacements under applied loads. Very good efficiency was observed where the accuracy of the
numerical model improved with increasing load, particularly for the cross-stiffened configuration.
The error rates between the numerical and experimental results decreased from 19.9336% at lower
loads to as low as 0.1675% at higher loads, underscoring the effectiveness of stiffeners in minimizing
deflection and aligning theoretical predictions with the experimental outcomes. This research provides valuable insights into the design of stiffened plates for applications requiring enhanced loadbearing capacity and reduced deformations. |
