| Abstract | Two finite element formulations, namely the mixed formulation and the assumed stress hybrid formulation to obtain elastic buckling load of thin plates are presented. The effects of stiffeners in plates are included with the assumed stress hybrid formulation. The convergence criterion and results are verified by comparing with available solutions. The assumed stress hybrid formulation is found to be the most efficient among presently available finite element methods to solve the plate stability problems. A number of problems with hole and stiffeners are solved for different loading conditions using the assumed stress hybrid formulation. |
