Overview

This work summarizes theoretical and experimental investigations of the real loading conditions of thin-walled plated and shell structures under loads concentrated on parts of their surfaces. It presents models of strain or stress distribution under patch loads, considering geometrical and material nonlinearity in connection with stability problems and fatigue damage of studied structural types. The results of these investigations are of particular importance in the design and safety verification of many engineering structures, such as plate girders subjected to partial edge loading, closures of fuel tanks, footings and saddles of pressure vessels, reservoirs and pipelines.
