Abstract: A numerical study of aluminum and steel beams subjected to concentrated loading is performed and compared with experimental data from the literature. The modeled test specimen referred to simply supported beams where the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation into the behavior of I beams and deck profiles under concentrated loading in the beam’s transverse direction. The primary objective of the investigation was to provide ...

Abstract: The response of aluminum beams subjected to concentrated loading is investigated experimentally through a series of 52 tests. Three different aluminum alloy AA6082-T6 extrusions are included in the test program: one double ...

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 ...

Abstract: An experimental stretch bending study is presented in this paper. A total of 24 tests on 2-m-long rectangular hollow section aluminum specimens are performed in a specially designed stretch bending rig. All tests are carried ...
