Interframe Buckling of Aluminum Alloy Stiffened Plating,

Abstract

Compression tests on five stiffened N8 aluminium alloy plates covering typical full scale warship scantlings are described. The panels were manufactured using normal shipyard production methods to ensure typical initial distortion and residual stresses. Maximum loads and post-buckling load/deflection results are compared with theoretical predictions using the ARE computer program N106C. Keywords: Buckling, Strength, Test, Compression, Stiffened plate, Interframe, Yield.
