Abstract: This paper presents a finite element (FE) analysis to quantify the effects of weld-induced residual stresses on the flexural behavior of circumferentially butt-welded steel circular hollow section (CHS) members. FE modeling ...

Abstract: As steel structures become larger, taller, and longer, the demand for high-strength steel increases. High-strength steels exhibit different mechanical characteristics and hysteretic behavior for dynamic deformation than ...
