Bending-Torsion Response of Rib-Reinforced Cantilever Plates
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 125, Issue 10
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present the feasibility of applying Vlasov's theory of thin walled bars to model the behavior of rib-reinforced cantilevered plates. A simple analytical model based on Vlasov's theory is presented and validated against experimental results. It is shown that the presented theoretical method is simple and sufficiently accurate to be used as a design tool. The presented approach is also valid for plates fabricated from composite materials.
