Buckling of Stiffened Plates

This document discusses important parameters that influence the buckling of stiffened plates, including the length/width ratio of panels, stiffener geometry and spacing, plate aspect ratios, slenderness, residual stresses, distortions, boundary conditions, and loading types. It also covers buckling behaviors of short, long, and optimally stiffened panels. Key concepts discussed include effective width, post-buckling capacity considering in-plane restraint and boundary conditions, simple displacement-based models, stress distributions, and failure criteria. Interaction curves and equivalent beam-column models are presented for analyzing the collapse of bi-axially loaded stiffened plates.
