Abstract
This paper deals with the buckling of the stiffened plate under uni-axial compression. The direct integration of the governing differential equation is performed and the exact solution to the problem is obtained. As examples, a square plate with single stiffener, and a stiffened three-span, continuous plate are investigated, with special attention given to the influence of stiffener misplacement on the buckling load and mode shape of the plate. It is found that a small misplacement of the stiffeners from the nominal configuration may change the buckling mode from a global one to a highly localized one. © 1995.
