Abstract

High precision finite elements for both thin plate and stiffener are developed in this paper to analyse the stability of thin plates subjected to arbitrary membrane loading with arbitrarily oriented stiffeners. Application of these elements to some complex stability problems show high accuracy even with a relatively coarse finite element mesh. For all the problems considered the predicted critical loads are accurate upper bounds.
