Abstract: The finite element analysis of an orthogonally stiffened annular sector plate is presented by combining the annular sector plate element and the curved beam element. The plate and the curved beam elements are the isoparametric ...

Abstract: The free‐vibration analysis of a column‐supported cooling tower with ring stiffeners has been undertaken using the finite element method. The tower has been modeled using anisoparametric quadrilateral shell of revolution ...

Abstract: The experimental behavior of four steel plate girder webs stiffened either transversely or transversely and longitudinally is considered. One aspect of the study is concerned with assessing the influence of residual stresses ...
