A Comparative Study between Steel Grillage and SPS Stiffening Plate Based on FEA Eigen Value Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sandwich plate system (SPS) with polyurethane elastomer is more and more used on ship buildings as grillage. A Comparative Study on critical buckling loads between steel grillage and SPS stiffening plate are carried out in this paper. Plate elements and beam elements are used in numerical simulation and a rectangular model is taken as a calculating example. By using of FEA software ANSYS, ultimate buckling loads are calculated with different influential factors between steel grillage and SPS stiffening plate, including the number of stiffening ribs, inertia moment of stiffening ribs, and the thickness of plates. the analysis results of comparison shows that SPS stiffening plates have better performance than steel grillage under in plane compressive loadings.
