A Basic Study on the Buckling Strength of a Ship's Bottom Plating : 2nd. Report

Abstract

As a basic study on the buckling strength of a ship's bottom plating, deformation behaviour and buckling strength of rectangular plates (aspect ratio α=3 and α=4) with four simply supported edges, subjected to increasing compression and constant lateral pressure, are theoretically clarified in this paper following the previous paper. And the effect of aspect ratio of plates on the buckling strength of plates under such combined loads, is also discussed.
