Orthotropic Models of Corrugated Sheets in Finite Element Analysis

Figure 3

Models used in buckling analysis. In B:1 it is the section 𝐿_𝑥 by 𝐿_𝑦 which is studied in buckling, not the entire structure. Geometric parameters from B:1 are used in analytical expressions to calculate equivalent orthotropic properties for B:2. B:3 is a representative part of B:1, this model is compared to the analytical result of Euler buckling found in B:4.
