Linear Elastic Isoparametric Spline Finite Strip Analysis of Perforated Thin-Walled Structures (No. R878)
Published 2007In previous reports [1, 2], the isoparametric spline finite strip method was successfully applied to the in-plane stress and bending linear elastic analyses of perforated plates. In this report the application of the ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Lateral Buckling of Monorail Beams (No. R883)
Published 2007The resistances of steel I-section monorail beams to lateral buckling are difficult to assess because monorails are often not well restrained against twisting. Monorails are supported at intervals along the top flange, but ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Compression Capacity of Hollow Flange Channel Stub Columns (No. R875)
Published 2007This paper presents an investigation into the strength of stub columns of hollow flange channel (LiteSteel Beam) sections manufactured by Smorgon Steel Tube Mills. Compression tests on stub columns were performed on a range ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Behaviour of Single Angle Steel Beams (No. R884)
Published 2007A single angle steel beam is commonly loaded eccentrically in a plane inclined to the principal planes (Fig. 1), so that the beam undergoes primary bending and shear about both principal axes, torsion, and bearing at the ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Strength and Ductility of Single Point, Self-Drilling Fasteners in Bending and Shear (No. R872)
Published 2006The report describes tests on connections featuring self-drilling screws and gaps between the connected parts. Gap typically occur when using inserts of a smaller dimension than the overlapping section, e.g. a tube. In ...Open AccessReport, Research
