An Investigation on Residual Stress Distribution in Cold-Formed Steel Channel Sections

Abstract

AbstractThis study investigates the behavior of residual stresses (RS) in cold-formed steel (CFS) unlipped press braked channel (PBC) sections. A nondestructive X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique was employed to characterize and quantify residual stress ...Practical ApplicationThis study provides valuable insights into how residual stresses (RS) affect the strength of cold-formed steel (CFS) unlipped channel sections manufactured by press braking. Using X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques and machine ...
