Abstract: In this paper, an experimental program is presented consisting of 13 experiments on welded stainless steel I-profile beams subjected to lateral torsional buckling, in which 11 specimens are made of the lean duplex stainless ...

Abstract: In this paper, a geometrically and materially nonlinear numerical model using ANSYS is validated against 13 lateral torsional buckling (LTB) experiments as well as experiments from the literature. A parametric study ...
