Abstract: This work was initiated to study the influence of geometry and material variations on the structural response of an aluminum I-beam subjected to concentrated loading. The beam behavior was computed with a previously validated ...

Abstract: An experimental stretch bending study is presented in this paper. A total of 29 tests on 2 m long rectangular hollow section aluminum specimens were performed in a purpose-built stretch bending rig. The tests were carried ...
