Hot spot along corner curvature of rectangular plate opening

Abstract

Development of stress concentration in the corner zone of rectangular plate opening is a well-known fact. It is usually literally taken that the largest stress concentration factor (SCF) occurs exactly in the corner (at angle coordinate of 45 degrees in case of square opening). More rigorous analyses, however, reveal that this is not perfectly true. Although maximum stress never really "leaves the corner", for some hot-spot analyses, more scrupulous investigation of this phenomenon has significance. In this paper, results of some analytical, numerical and experimental investigations of this topic, for plate in tension, are presented and compared.

On ultimate strength of an inland waterway barge

“…In that regard, and according to the best of the authors' knowledge, traditional inland cargo vessels are still not investigated. However, some studies on their structures and service loadings can be found in [12] and [13,14], respectively. This can be disturbing because inland vessels can experience the exceedance of their ultimate strength and, finally, hull girder collapse.…”

Structural response of the U-type corrugated core sandwich panel used in ship structures under the lateral quasi-static compression load

“…With the development of the manufacturing technique, laser welding gets more attention due to its advanced weld quality and less welding induced imperfections [19][20][21][22][23][24]. Recent research [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] shows that the sandwich panel can absorb large proportion of impact energy through plastic deformation when it is compressed, which provides more effective and lightweight solutions.…”

Advances on manufacture methods for wide lightweight aluminium stiffened panels

“…In aerospace applications, the stiffened structures are used in the aircraft wings and fuselage assembly [1], and they are also employed in jet engine components such as pods, aircraft landing brake components, bulkheads and fairings, etc. In the field of navigation, most ship structures contain stiffened plates such as deck, bottom and side of hull [2,3], and offshore platforms have the decks built up by stiffened plate structures [4]. In addition, stiffened panel components are applied in the construction of blast walls [5], buildings [6], slab-girder bridges [7], etc.…”
