Abstract: This paper presents a repot on the analysis of stiffened plates, that are basic structural members in marine structures, and include also aeronautic and space shuttles among other structures. Due to the simple fabric with a very high strength-to-weight ratio, these plates are also commonly used for building land based structures which include box girder and plate girder bridges. The stiffened plate has a number of one-sided stiffeners in either one or both directions, the latter configuration being also called a grillage.
Keywords: Stiffened Plates, Tanaka & Endos’ Experiments, Ghavami’s Experiments.
