A steel panel is subjected to a compressive loading in order
to improve the panel stiffness and to increase its buckling
strength. It is swaged with the swage depth of 13 mm and
swage angle of 60.07o. Its profile is as shown in Fig.Q2.
Typical dimensions are shown in the figure and the thickness
of the panel is 0.8 mm. The effective length of the panel is
750 mm. The relevant properties are:
Modulus of elasticity = 200 GN/m2
Yield stress = 240 MN/m2
.
Assuming that the buckling stress coefficient for a panel
simply supported on both sides is 3.62 and that the post
buckling relationship for the panel is
