Abstract An analytical model for the initial transverse stiffness of a sinusoidally corrugated plate is derived, incorporating deformations due to extension, shear, and bending. A nondimensional plot is developed for determining transverse stiffness based on thickness and corrugation for a range of plate geometries. This model shows that for most corrugated plates the transverse stiffness is dramatically decreased from that of an uncomigated plate of the same thickness. For thin plates, a simple approximate polynomial expression for initial transverse stiffness is obtained. For thick plates with a small degree of corrugation, transverse stiffness is not negligible relative to longitudinal stiffness. The exact model is verified using a linear-elastic two-dimensional finite element model.
