Abstract
The bending, free vibration and stability of stiffened plates are analyzed by using the finite strip method. The stiffened plate is modeled as a system consisting of plate strip elements and beam elements, incorporating torsion as well as bending effects. The effects of flexural and torsional rigidities, location and length of the stiffeners on the displacement, natural frequency, and critical load of the stiffened plate are investigated. The results are compared well with the existing analytical solutions and the finite element solutions.
