Summary

The two-dimensional stiffened plate problem is completely governed by the fundamental differential equation

(22)

where k1 and k2 are two non-dimensional structural constants depending on the relative proportions of the reinforcing members.

The complete solution is

(25)

This solution renders all solutions for the isotropic plate available for the stiffened plate also. The choice between the several types of solution available is governed by the same considerations as for the isotropic or unstiffened plate.
