Several engineering structures used in civil, aeronautical and, mainly, naval and offshore
industries consist of steel stiffened panels formed by beams welded into thin plates. These …

In the present paper, the effect of multiple longitudinal web stiffeners (up to four) located at
their optimum location on the ultimate strength of steel plate girders subjected to …

This paper presents an investigation of the optimum locations of multiple longitudinal web
stiffeners (up to six) for steel plates under pure bending by using the gradient-based interior …

The paper continues and discusses the next case of the simplified method of the Technical
Stability Theory (TSTh) of loss of stability of lateral buckling in elastic-plastic states of semi …

Natural frequency constitutes a critical parameter influencing the dynamic characteristics of
structural systems. This study presents a genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization …

Many studies on structural topology optimization of steel plate shear walls have been
conducted. However, research on topology optimization using the bidirectional evolutionary …

This work performs an investigation into the optimal position of two longitudinal stiffeners
with different cross-section shapes such as open section (L-shaped and T-shaped) and …

In this paper, the linear buckling behavior of longitudinally singly-and multi-stiffened plates
with simply-supported edges under normal and shear stresses is investigated. A …

Buckling analysis of steel structures can be performed using either linear (LBA) or nonlinear
buckling analysis (NLBA). Each method is only effective in particular conditions and …
