Corrosion pits on a steel plate can reduce the strength of the plate. However, it is difficult to calculate the corrosion effect analytically since the pits are normally distributed on the plate's surface randomly. In this manuscript, a simple approach is proposed to convert the corroded plate into a perfect one. By this method, the corrosion pits are treated as inclusions embedded in the plate. Then the analytical mechanics model used for composite material can be adopted in the calculation of the steel plate's effective material properties. To verify the proposed approach, numerical simulation is conducted using finite element method.Keywords
