EG501B: DESIGN OF STIFFENED PLATES (2019-2020)

Last modified: 25 Sep 2019 09:58


Course Overview

This course provides an introduction to the behaviour of the thin-walled stiffened plate structures that are found in the Oil and Gas Industry.  The small deflection and large deflection theories (including elasto-plastic effects) are presented for a wide range of in-plane and out-of-plane load actions.  A key feature is to explain how these behaviours are represented in Design Codes of Practice.
