Abstract: This paper presents a test program on aluminum alloy thin-walled square and rectangular hollow sections in combined axial compression and minor axis bending. A total of six series of tests was conducted that included 27 ...

Abstract: A test program was performed on aluminum alloy columns of square and rectangular hollow sections that were compressed between fixed ends. In total, five series of tests were conducted that included columns with both ends ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental and numerical investigation of aluminum alloy flexural members. The tests were performed on ten different sizes of square hollow sections subjected to pure bending. Material properties ...

Abstract: A test program was performed on cold-formed-steel oval hollow sections under axial compression. The test specimens were cold-rolled into oval hollow sections with flat web plates and semicircular flanges. The test program ...

Abstract: The acoustic pressure radiated to the far field from dipole sources at the rim of a rotating circular sawblade is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Scattering from the sawblade ...

Abstract: A general contact stiffness model is proposed in this paper to study the contacts between rough surfaces of machined plane joints. The proposed model uses fractal geometry for surface topography ...

Abstract: Dynamic modal testing is an economical method of evaluating structural key stiffness, the accuracy of which relies on the determination of selected target modes. Pretension deviations are usually inevitable in cable domes; ...
