Experimental determination of stresses in a ship's bottom structure.
experimentaldete00card.pdf (3.902Mb)Abstract
An attempt is made to verify second order orthotropic
plate theory using a Plexiglas model loaded laterally
and in the plane of the plate. The design and construction
of the model, loading system, support system and
instrumentation are discussed in detail. The experiments did not verify second order orthotropic
plate theory. The main reason was the inability of the
boundary condition members to apply the designed boundary
conditions to the plate. Further attempts to verify
the theory are possible with the same apparatus if boundary
modifications are made.
