Puls Nauticus User Manual: 24 September 2006 Programversion 10.5 / Puls Version 2.0.6

This document summarizes the capabilities of the S3 element in the Nauticus software for analyzing stiffened plate structures. The S3 element can model rectangular plates with multiple stiffeners and supports, under various load cases and with different material properties and boundary conditions. The output includes the ultimate capacity, buckling strength from local and global buckling modes, and usage factors.

S3 element -- stiffened plate -- regular geometry


Theory: Structural configuration: Non-linear Rectangular stiffened plate - Uniform plate thickness - N equal constantly spaced main stiffeners in x1-dir. Continuous or sniped. - Secondary stiffeners perpendicular to x1- dir. a) Sniped between main stiffeners b) Supporting stiffener sideways (Secondary stiffeners = only strengthening the plate between main stiffeners, carry no axial stress) - Uniform normal stress in main stiffener direction (x1- direction) - Linearly varying normal stress perpendicular to main stiffeners (x2direction) - Uniform in-plane shear stress (x1-x2 plane) - Uniform lateral pressure p (fixed) - Isotropic elastic material (E, Q) - Steel (different yield stress in plate and stiffeners optionally) - Aluminium (different yield stress in plate and stiffeners) - HAZ correction option Out-of plane support (bending support) - All four edges supported laterally in plate plane - Long edges locally elastically restrained as along primary stiffeners - Transverse edges simply supported Two options for in-plane support (membrane support ) - I : Integrated panel , all four edges restrained to be straight (decks, bottom etc) - G : Girder panel, two opposite plate edges free to pull in (web girders etc.) - Default model imperfections consistent with as welded steel panels and normal production tolerance standards - User defined tolerances: Damages, imperfection sensitivity studies etc - Ultimate Capacity (UC) - Buckling Strength (BS) (min of UC, LEB, GEB) - Usage factor UC (ratio: applied loads/ UC) - Usage factor BS (ratio: applied loads/ BS) - Local Eigenvalue (LEB) - Global Eigenvalue (GEB)
