Abstract: A recent experimental and finite-element research program was conducted on the distortional buckling of axially compressed, cold-formed stainless steel simple lipped channels. Austenitic 304 (1.4301), ferritic 430 (1.4016), ...

Abstract: Previous research on nailed steel tubular lap splice connections has resulted in the development of design guidelines for shear, bearing, and net section fracture failure modes, for both static and fatigue loading. Since ...

Abstract: This paper describes the experimental investigation of cold-formed, thin-walled stainless steel sections subject to distortional buckling under compression. Austenitic 304, ferritic 430 stainless steel, and ferritic-like ...
