SMACNA - Panel Calcs

The document analyzes the buckling behavior of a duct panel using the Mode A and Mode B analyses in SMACNA Chapter 4. For a duct class 2 panel with given dimensions and material properties, the Mode A analysis found a maximum stress of 177.1 MPa, within the allowable stress of 200 MPa. The Mode B analysis found a midpoint deflection of 7.2 mm, exceeding the allowable of 4.1 mm. Stiffener designs were also analyzed, with a fixed stiffener meeting requirements but a free stiffener exceeding the deflection limit.
