Description:This review is divided into three main parts. The first is very brief and covers shear lag effects associated with stiffener plate bending. Part II concerns the behavior of unstiffened plate elements in compression, which are referred to as effective "width" effects. The concepts considered are maximum plate strength, and how this is affected by initial distortion, normal pressure and boundary conditions; stress distribution in plate elements before failure; and the "reduced effective width" concept for defining plate element stiffness, as required for use in stiffened-plate collapse theories. Final appraisal and recommendations are made. Part III concerns welding stress effects, and a critical strain theory is advanced for describing welded plate behavior. The review has of course assessed appropriate test data, including that from three full-scale destroyer tests. Some emphasis has been placed upon the statistical characteristics of the data, in order that this may help establish structural strength distributions for probabilistic approaches to ductile structural reliability. This research was carried out during tenure of a British Government Defense Fellowship in the Department of Ocean Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
