Gordo, J.M. and Guedes Soares, C. (1993), “Approximate Load Shortening Curves for Stiffened Plates Under Uniaxial Compression”, Integrity of Offshore Structures, EMAS, Issue 5, pp. 189-211

An approximate method is proposed to describe the load shortening curves of stiffened panels, including the post-buckling behaviour. The model accounts for the influence of plate and stiffener distortions and residual stresses on the ultimate load of the stiffened plates using a finite element program in the relevant range of plane and column slenderness.
