Validation of the ULSAP Closed-Form Method for Ultimate Strength Analysis of Cross-Stiffened Panels

This thesis presents the results of 67 ABAQUS elasto-plastic Riks ultimate strength analyses of cross-stiffened panels. These panels cover a wide range of typical geometries. Uniaxial compression is applied to the panels, and in some cases combined with lateral pressure. For eight of the panels f...
