Given the widespread use of beam and plate in structures, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of girder behavior. According to buckling failure mode in plates, it is necessary to take measures in this regard. Delta stiffener is using this approach. Due to the lack of technical knowledge about these kinds of plate beam, it is necessary to find good geometric properties of the delta girder plates for both technically and economically optimization. Therefore, in this paper, by modeling and finite element analysis for simple girder (without Stiffener), beam hardening by longitudinal plate and beam using delta hardening behavior are examined under the effect of the bending moment. Finite element analysis of elastic buckling analysis is included. With the above analysis, the effect of longitudinal stiffener and Delta Girders in terms of economic considerations has been studied. Keywords: Elastic Buckling, Beam, Plate, Stiffener.

Buckling Behavior

The stability of blood vessels is essential for maintaining the normal arterial function, and loss of stability may result in blood vessel tortuosity. The previous theoretical models of artery buckling were developed for circular vessel models, but arteries often demonstrate geometric variations such as elliptic and eccentric cross-sections. The objective of this study was to establish the theoretical foundation for noncircular blood vessel bent (i.e., lateral) buckling and simulate the buckling behavior of arteries with elliptic and eccentric cross-sections using finite element analysis. A generalized buckling equation for noncircular vessels was derived and finite element analysis was conducted to simulate the artery buckling behavior under lumen pressure and axial tension. The arterial wall was modeled as a thick-walled cylinder with hyper-elastic anisotropic and homogeneous material. The results demonstrated that oval or eccentric cross-section increases the critical buckling pressure of arteries and having both ovalness and eccentricity would further enhance the effect. We conclude that variations of the cross-sectional shape affect the critical pressure of arteries. These results improve the understanding of the mechanical stability of arteries.
