Abstract
Metal ceiling tiles can be used for a variety ofspace, including commercial, office and other public spaces.They are widely used for suspending ceilings and otherarchitectural applications in a range of different perforationpatterns to suit both mechanical and aesthetic requirements.These perforated panels made of steel, aluminum, bras, etc. arealso known as stamping plates or sheets depending on itsthickness and area of usage. In this study, perforated ceilingtiles are modelled as rectangular thin plates with various holepatterns which are simply supported on all its boundaries. Themain idea is to find out the effect of the holes on the bendingbehaviour of the perforated plate which is the governingattitude of a ceiling tile. The other parameters whichdetermined about the behaviour of the plates are deflection,moments and stresses. The analyses were performed on variousmodels systematically by number, diameter and location ofholes. As a result of these analyses the relationships between theapplied force and maximum values of internal forces have beencalculated by using APDL codes based on Finite ElementMethod to find out the optimum hole pattern. According toanalysis results; 3D graphics are developed to design properhole patterns for Regular Perforated Metal Ceiling Tiles.
