Workshop 5
2. GOAL: model a stiffened panel using plate elements for the panel and BEAM elements for the stiffener
Workshop 5-2
Workshop 5 (cont.)
1. Stiffened Plate Model 2. We will model a plate which is .1 inches thick, 20.0 inches long, and 10.0 inches wide. The stiffener is shown below, along with the plate dimensions and loading
Workshop 5-3
Workshop 5 (cont.)
1. Stiffened Plate Model 2. Material properties: a. E = 10.3E+6 psi b. Poissons Ratio = .3 c. Density = .101 lb/in3 (weight density) 3. The stiffener will be modeled using a BEAM with a PBEAML to define the cross-section 4. The GRID points will lie at the midplane of the plate, so the BEAM must be offset from the GRID points by 1.05 (half the BEAM height pus half the plate thickness)
