VERIFICATION EXAMPLES FOR SCADA Pro

Software Verification Examples for SCADA Pro 55 Assumptions During analysis, Kirchhoff theory of plate and Bernoulli theory of beam has been adopted. Technical Features in ScadaPro Tested  Analysis of stiffened plate under transverse loading  Three – dimensional analysis of shell and beam elements (simultaneously) Results Comparison Vertical displacements for all four cases are presented in Table B2.4.1. Moreover, for b h 1.0m = , in Fig.B2.4.3 the deflection surfaces of the stiffened plate and in Fig.B2.4.4 the bending moments (Case1) of the beam are also presented. Table B2.4.1.
