Bending and Buckling of Tapered Steel Beam Structures (No. R939)
Published 2013This paper describes an efficient finite element method of analysing the elastic in-plane bending and out-ofplane buckling of indeterminate beam structures whose members may be tapered and of mono-symmetric I cross-section. ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Numerical Simulation of High Strength Cold-Formed Supacee Sections in Combined Bending and Shear (No. R913)
Published 2010The report describes numerical non-linear simulation, based on the finite element method (FEM) using the software package ABAQUS/Standard, of high strength cold-formed SupaCee sections in shear, combined bending and shear, ...Open AccessReport, Research -
A Signature Curve for Cold-Formed Channel Sections in Pure Shear (No. R919)
Published 2011Thin-walled sections in compression and/or bending may undergo one of the three modes of local, distortional or overall (Euler) buckling, or combinations of these. The Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method (SAFSM) developed ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Inelastic Buckling of Monosymmetric I-Beams (No. R920)
Published 2011Methods of designing steel monosymmetric I-beams against lateral buckling are not well supported by research. For this paper, the inelastic buckling of monosymmetric steel I-beams under moment gradient was studied and ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Material and Geometric Non-linear Isoparametric Spline Finite Strip Analysis of Perforated Thin-Walled Steel Structures (No. R910)
Published 2010The isoparametric spline finite strip method (ISFSM) is an efficient numerical method which is mostly suitable for analysing prismatic structures. It is able to simulate complex geometries such as holes and can handle ...Open AccessReport, Research
