Abstract: Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a method of metal three-dimensional (3D) printing that can be used to fabricate large-scale elements of complex form, opening up opportunities to unleash the full potential of ...

Abstract: This paper describes numerical modeling of the structural response of stainless steel hollow sections. The aim of the investigation was to develop a consistent approach to the modeling of stainless steel structures. The ...

Abstract: The influence of residual stresses on structural members is to cause premature yielding and loss of stiffness, often leading to deterioration of load carrying capacity. Knowledge of their magnitude and distribution is ...

Abstract: Complementary to recent studies on the cross-section behavior of elliptical hollow sections, investigations into the member response have also been performed and described in this paper. The first stage of these investigations ...

Abstract: The direct analysis method (DAM), featuring second-order elastic analysis with two stiffness reduction factors (τb and τg), is the primary means of stability design for steel structures in AISC 360 and AISI S100. The ...

Abstract: The deformation occurring in the articular cartilage covering the human femoral head has been measured both when the femoral head is loaded in its natural acetabulum and when the cartilage is ...
