Abstract
Long-lived structures require specifications for infrastructures which consist of stainless steels. This paper proposes a buckling design method for compressive stainless steel plates. Firstly, ultimate strength performances of stainless steel plates, which are designed by use of 0.1% proof stress and 0.2% proof stress, are compared on the basis of results of numerical analysis. Secondly, ultimate strength performance of stainless steel plate is compared with that carbon mild steel plate. Finally, taking stress-strain relationship of stainless steel into consideration, ultimate strength curve of stainless steel plate is proposed. The proposed method certifies us of compressive strength of the stainless steel plate in the condition of the same deformation as the mild steel plate.
