Abstract: An experimental investigation of the residual stresses in severely cold‐bent thick high‐strength steel plates is presented. Both the sectioning and the hole‐drilling methods are used for residual stress measurement; the ...

Abstract: The cold‐bending behavior of thick high‐strength steel plates is studied. Fifteen 1‐in. (25.4‐mm) and three 1.5‐in. (38.1‐mm) thick steel plates are cold‐bent to angles up to 90°, with bend radii of 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 5.5 ...

Abstract: Seismic evaluation of a two-story, two-bay reinforced concrete frame infilled with masonry was performed by pseudodynamic testing of a half-scale specimen. The second-story infill included window openings. The specimen was ...

Abstract: The use of cold-bent plates, instead of welded corner joints, in the fabrication of pressure vessels can reduce production costs. The cold-bending operation is relatively easy, inexpensive, and ...
