Three-Dimensional Non-Conforming Element (No. R808)
Published 2001-01-01The performance of three-dimensional hexahedral elements has been compared in this study. The standard quadratic 20-noded hexahedral element has shown robust performance in many applications, however, it has a high number ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Compression Tests of DuraGal Angles Loaded Parallel With a Leg (No. R799)
Published 2000-01-01This report presents the results of 11 compression tests performed on cold-Formed, inline galvanised, slender 50x50x2.5 DuraGal equal angles. The angles were tested between pinned ends and loaded axially with eccentric ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Strength of Flare-Bevel and Flare-Vee Welded Connections in G450 Sheet Steels (No. R806)
Published 2001-01-01This paper investigates the reliability of the existing design equations specified in AS/NZS 4600:1996 for flare-bevel and flare-vee welded connections in cold-reduced high-strength G450 sheet steels. The existing design ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Finite Element Analysis of Plastic Bending of Cold-Formed Rectangular Hollow Section Beams (No. R792)
Published 1999-01-01This report describes the finite element analysis of rectangular hollow section (RHS) beams, to simulate a series of bending tests. The finite element program ABAQUS was used for the analysis. The main aims of the analysis ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Second Order Moments in Torsion Members (No. R800)
Published 2000-01-01This paper is concerned with the elastic flexural buckling of structural members under torsion, and with second-order moments in torsion members. Previous research is reviewed, and the energy method of predicting elastic ...Open AccessReport, Research
