Discussion
Match each instability in List I with what governs it in List II.
List I
A. Skin buckling
B. Stiffener crippling
C. Column buckling of a stiffener
D. Diagonal tension field
List II
1. Flange width-to-thickness ratio
2. Panel width, thickness and edge support
3. Post-buckled shear behaviour of a thin web
4. Slenderness ratio and end fixity
Select the correct match.
Answer: A
Correct answer: A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3
Four instabilities, each with its own governing parameter. Skin buckling depends on the panel width, thickness and the support along its edges. Stiffener crippling depends on the flange width-to-thickness ratio. Column buckling of the stiffener depends on its slenderness ratio and end fixity, through the Euler relation. And diagonal tension is the post-buckled behaviour of a thin shear web, described by Wagner’s theory.
