Zhang. J., Shi, X. and Guedes Soares, C. (2017), “Experimental analysis of residual ultimate strength of stiffened panels with pitting corrosion under compression”, Engineering Structures, Vol. 152, pp. 70-86
The collapse mechanics and ultimate strength of a stiffened plate with pitting damage are investigated experimentally with specimens with circular shaped holes representing the pits in the plate. A series of compressive tests has been conducted to investigate the effect of pitting corrosion, including the initial imperfections. The pit location, pit diameter and pit depth are examined to determine the influence of the pitting on the ultimate strength. The experimental results of load-displacement relationship, the strain response and the ultimate strength under compressive loads are analysed. The ultimate strength reduction is related with the degree of pitting or volume loss.
