SCAS Plate Stiffeners
SCAS Plate Stiffeners
(OP)
I have modelled two plates with similar properties, boundary conditions & loading. And one assigned one plate with plate stiffner and the second plate with beam section (similar to stiffners) as stiffners.
But the results for two differnt plates vary a lot.
Can anyone help..

I had read in the sacs manual that properties are reported for stiffner plates but stresses are reported separately (flate plate & stiffner separately). I didnt understood this part exactly, if stresses are reported separately then how to check the actual stress.......??
Also can you tell me the solution for isotopic & anisotropic.. I mean to ask how to make the stresses resemble if I use stiffner plate & beam sections as stiffner..
Thanks for your help..
RE: SCAS Plate Stiffeners
It’s difficult to match the solution for stiffened plate where the stiffness of the stiffener is smeared and a stiffened plate where the plate and the stiffener are explicitly modeled. The smeared model is usually adequate for a global analysis but not for a detailed analysis – for example a blast wall.
RE: SCAS Plate Stiffeners
If Iam not asking too much.. Can you please elaborate the smearing of plates concept. I havent studied FEA..
You mean to say if we want to do detail(local) analysis, we need to use beam stiffners instead of plate stifnners..
Thanks for your time..
