Abstract

PERFORATED STEEL THIN PLATES ARE COMMONLY USED IN STRUCTURAL ENGI-NEERING. DUE TO THEIR GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS, THESE PANELS CAN SUFFER THE UNDESIRED BUCKLING PHENOMENON. IN THIS CONTEXT, THE PRESENT WORK ASSOCIATES THE COMPUTATIONAL MODELING AND THE CONSTRUCTAL DESIGN METHOD TO EVALUATE THE INFLUENCE OF THE GEOMETRIC CONFIGURATION IN THE PLATE BUCKLING BEHAVIOR, USING THE EXHAUSTIVE SEARCH METHOD TO DETERMINE WHICH GEOMETRIES CONDUCT TO SUPERIOR MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR. TO DO SO, NUMERICAL MODELS ARE EMPLOYED TO SOLVE ELASTIC AND ELASTO-PLASTIC BUCKLING OF PLATES HAVING A CENTERED PERFORATION. DIFFERENT HOLE TYPES (LONGITUDINAL OBLONG, TRANSVERSAL OBLONG, ELLIPTICAL, RECTANGULAR, DIAMOND, LONGITUDINAL HEXAGONAL, OR TRANSVERSAL HEXAGONAL) WITH DIFFERENT SHAPES (VARIATION OF CHARACTERISTICS DIMENSIONS OF EACH HOLE TYPE) ARE ANALYZED. LIMIT CURVES TO AVOID BUCKLING WERE OBTAINED, AS WELL AS THE DEFINITION OF THE GEOMETRIES THAT CAN IMPROVE UP TO 107% THE PLATE PERFORMANCE.
