ASM Solution of Stiffened Sector Plates
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 113, Issue 12
Abstract
This study extends the application of the Analytical Strip Method (ASM) of solution to stiffened sector plates. The plate is idealized as a system of horizontally curved plate strips and beam or rib segments rigidly connected to each other. The behavior of the system is derived by imposing the edge and continuity conditions on the closed‐form solutions of the individual plate strips and beam elements. The method is applicable to plate‐stiffener systems subjected to various loading conditions and with different boundary conditions along the straight and circular edges. The advantage of the ASM solution over the “equivalent” orthotropic plate substitute is that unequally spaced stiffeners and stiffeners of different cross‐sectional properties can be introduced in the solution. Results are presented for stiffened sectors with different edge and loading conditions.
