The structural characteristics of the stiffened double cylinder was investigated through experiment and analysis. The outside cylinder was excited with piezoelectric actuator and the mode shape of the cylinder with stiffening T frame was obtained by using holographic interferometry. Finite element method was applied for further modal investigation of the stiffened cylinder. The experimental results showed that the mode shape of cylinder was dependent on the exciting frequencies and the T frame showed salient effect of damping at most of the resonent frequencies. In particular frequencies, the T frame worked as a transmitter. FFM showed similar results with the experiments. This paper showed that the laser-based method such as holographic interferometry is well suited for investigation of the whole-field mode shapes and FEM has good performance to estimate the medal characteristics of the mechanical structure.

The paper describes the use of genetic algorithms (GA's) to the minimum weight design of stiffened composite panels for buckling constraints. The proposed design problem is characterized by mixture of continuous and discrete design variables corresponding to panel elements and stacking sequence of laminates, respectively. Design space is multimodal and non-convex, thereby introducing the need for global search strategies. Advanced strategies in GA's such as directed crossover, multistage search and separated crossover are adopted to improve search ability and to save computational resource requirements. The paper explores the effectiveness of genetic algorithms and their advanced strategies in designing stiffened composite panels under various uniaxial compressive load conditions and the linrlit on stacking sequence of laminates.

The paper investigates the dynamic behaviour of stiffened panels. The coupled differential equations for eccentric stiffening configuration are first derived. Then a semi-analytical procedure for dynamic analysis of stiffened panels is presented. Unlike finite element or finite strip methods, where the plate is discretized into a set of elements or strips, the plate in this procedure is treated as a single element. The potential energy of the structure is first expressed in terms generalized functions that describe the longitudinal and transverse displacement profiles. The resulting non-linear strain energy functions are then transformed into unconstrained optimization problem in which mathematical programming techniques are employed to determine the magnitude of the lowest natural frequency and the associated mode shape for pre-selected plate/stiffener geometric parameters. The described procedure is verified with other numerical methods for several stiffened panels. Results are then presented showing the variation of the natural frequency with plate/stiffener geometric parameters for various stiffening configurations.

In this study, the assumed-mode method using characteristic polynomials of Timoshenko beam is applied for the free vibration analysis of rectangular stiffened plates. The polynomial is derived considering the rotational constraint along the boundary edges of plate and the orthogonal relation of Timoshenko beam functions, which enables to simplify the free vibration analysis of plate structure having various boundary conditions. To verify the validity and effectiveness of the adopted method, numerical analysis for cross-stiffened plates were carried out and its results were compared with those obtained by the general purpose FEA software.

본 연구는 면내 전단력을 받으며 수직보강재가 설치된 직교이방성판의 탄성좌굴거동해석에 관한 것으로서, 판의 네 변은 단순지지 되었다고 가정하였으며, 등간격으로 배치된 보강재는 비틀림강성을 무시한 보요소로 간주하였다. 수직보강된 직교이방성판의 좌굴해석식은 Rayleigh-Ritz법을 사용하여 유도하였다. 유도된 좌굴해석식을 사용하여 수직보강된 직교이방성판의 좌굴응력의 한계값을 구해 그래프로 제시하였으며, 이 결과를 사용하여 수직보강재가 한 개 또는 두 개 설치된 판의 전단좌굴응력이 최대가 되도록 하기 위해 보강재에 요구되는 휨강성을 구하여 그래프로 제시하였다.

This work presents an active vibration control of a stiffened hull structure using a flexible macro fiber composite (MFC) actuator. As first step, the governing equation of the hull structure is derived in a matrix form and its dynamic characteristics such as natural frequency are obtained via a finite element analysis (FEA). The natural frequencies obtained from the FEA are compared with those determined from experimental measurement. After formulating the control model in a state space representation, an optimal controller is designed in order to attenuate the vibration of the stiffened hull structure. The controller is then empirically realized through dSPACE and control responses are evaluated in time domain.

The integrity of stiffened panels with stringers in airplane structure is generally enhanced by investigating the fatigue crack propagation behavior in detail and providing the technical methodology to deal with the propagating crack. This paper attempts to clarify the effect of load-ratio on the fatigue crack propagation rate and the fatigue life for the thin aluminum 2024-T3. Both the variable and the constant fatigue loading conditions are considered for the fatigue crack propagation behavior in stiffened panels with stringers.

The energy expressions are formulated for the axially stiffened shell treating the stiffeners as discrete elements. The principle of minimum potential energy is employed to formulate the buckling equations for a simply supported, axially stiffened shell under uniform axial compression. The displacement functions are expended into double trigonometric series. The mode assuming method employed in this paper makes it possible to reduce the matrix size of the eigenvalue problem considerably. Effects are made to investigate the transition from overall buckling to local buckling and to verify the existence of the minimum stiffness ratio of stiffener as in the case of stiffened plate. The results of the calculation show that the critical stiffener size increase linearly as the length of the shell increases. The results also show that the overall buckling load decreases and the local buckling load has a nearly constant value as the length of the shell increases. The results show very good agreements with other computational available.

A displacement-based finite element method Is presented for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of eccentrically stiffened plates. A nonlinear degenerated shell element and a nonlinear degenerated eccentric isoparametric beam (isobeam) element are formulated on the basis of Total Agrangian and Updated Lagrangian descriptions. In the formulation of the isobeam element, some additional local decrees of freedom are implementd to describe the stiffener's local plate buckling modes. Therefore this element can be effectively employed to model the eccentric stiffener with fewer D.O.F's than the case of a degenerated shell element. Some detailed buckling and nonlinear analyses of an eccentrically stiffened plate are performed to estimate the critical buckling loads and the post buckling behaviors including the local plate buckling of the stiffeners discretized with the degenerated shell elements and the isobeam elements. The critical buckling loads are found to be higher than the analytical plate buckling load but lower than Euler buckling load of the corresponding column, i.e, buckling strength requirements of the Classification Societies for the stiffened plates.

Tubular joints having a large diameter are reinforced using internal ring stiffener in order to increase the load carrying capacity. In this study, the static strengths of Internally ring-stiffened tubular T-joints subjected to compressive brace loading are assessed. Nonlinear finite element analyses are used to compute the behavior of unstiffened and ring-stiffened T-joints. From the numerical results, Internal ring stiffener is found to efficient in improving the ultimate capacity, and reinforcement effect are calculated. The influence of geometric parameters for members and ring is evaluated. Based on the FE results, regression analysis is performed considering practical sizes of ring stiffener, finally strength estimation formulae for ring-stiffened T-joints are proposed.
