Numerical Analysis of Aspect Ratio Effects on the Mechanical Behavior of Perforated Steel Plates

Thin plates are commonly used in mechanical structures such as ship hulls, offshore platforms, aircraft, automobiles, and bridges. When subjected to in-plane compressive loads, these structures may experience buckling. In some applications, perforations are introduced, altering membrane stress distr...
