ABSTRACTBuckling is an instability phenomenon that can happen when a slender plate is subjected to axial compression loads. In addition, perforated plates are often necessary in the engineering field. Throughout this article, the Constructal Design Method, which is based on the Constructal Theory, has been used to evaluate the influence of the hole on thin steel plates under elastic buckling. For that, the different types of holes analyzed were both transversal and longitudinal oblong. They were all placed in the center of the plate. The geometry of the hole varied according to the degree of freedom H0/L0, which relates the dimensions of each type of different hole. The size of the perforation are varied by means the hole volume fraction (f) parameter, that represents the relation between the volume of the hole and the total volume of the plate (without hole). The main goal is to achieve the greatest critical load for the perforated plates. To do so, the ANSYS software, based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), has been used to numerically analyze the elastic buckling in each case. It has been observed the importance of the geometry when seeking superior performances: through a simple fluctuation of the geometry of the hole, once the volume fraction was kept constant, it was possible to achieve a significant increase on the critical loads. Key words: Buckling; Computational Modeling; Critical Load; Constructal Design.

Stiffened thin steel plates are structures widely employed in aeronautical, civil, naval, and offshore engineering. Considering a practical application where a transverse uniform load acts on a simply supported stiffened steel plate, an approach associating computational modeling, Constructal Design method, and Exhaustive Search technique was employed aiming to minimize the central deflections of these plates. To do so, a non-stiffened plate was adopted as reference from which all studied stiffened plate’s geometries were originated by the transformation of a certain amount of steel of its thickness into longitudinal and transverse stiffeners. Different values for the stiffeners volume fraction (φ) were analyzed, representing the ratio between the volume of the stiffeners’ material and the total volume of the reference plate. Besides, the number of longitudinal (Nls) and transverse (Nts) stiffeners and the aspect ratio of stiffeners shape (hs/ts, being hs and ts, respectively, the height and thickness of stiffeners) were considered as degrees of freedom. The optimized plates were determined for all studied φ values and showed a deflection reduction of over 90% in comparison with the reference plate. Lastly, the influence of the φ parameter regarding the optimized plates was evaluated defining a configuration with the best structural performance among all analyzed cases.
