Static and dynamic analysis of stiffened plates

In this paper a method for the static and dynamic analysis of eccentrically stiffened annular sector plates is presented. The plate is clamped on all the edges. The integral equation technique is adopted for the solution. In the static analysis the deflection and stresses at centre and the stresses at the edges are obtained and they are presented graphically. The results are compared for particular cases with those of other investigators who have used different analytical methods. The natural frequencies of stiffened clamped plates are also obtained for plates with different sector angles. © 1985.
