Investigating the Local Buckling of Rectangular Corrugated Plates
Abstract: With advances in
technology in recent years, the use of orthotropic materials to exclude the
mechanical deficiencies of homogeneous plates has increased. Sinusoidal
corrugated plates are known as orthotropic plates, as a result of changes in
their mechanical properties in two orthogonal directions. Since use of
corrugated plates, in particular steel shear walls instead of flat steel
plates, has increased, the present study investigated local buckling of
sinusoidal corrugated plates under uniform uniaxial loading on the transverse
edges of the plate (vertical loading on the sinusoidal wave of corrugated
plates), using the Galerkin method. This method is very powerful with regard to
solving differential equations, and directly uses these equations in the process
of problem-solving. Finally, the results obtained for the critical buckling
load of sinusoidal corrugated metal plates and the results relating to the
metal homogeneous flat plates were compared using the same supporting
conditions and loading.
