Abstract: Aluminum alloys are being increasingly used in a wide range of construction applications owing to their sound mechanical properties, lightness in weight, strong corrosion resistance, ability to be formed into complex and ...

Abstract: Modern wind turbines are often supported by tubular steel towers made from globally conical, locally cylindrical shells with relatively large diameter-to-thickness ratios—approximately between 100 and 300—which enables the ...

Abstract: High-strength aluminum alloys are emerging and gaining increasing prominence in structural engineering. The structural behavior and design of 7A04-T6 high-strength aluminum alloy equal-leg angle-section columns under axial ...
