This study reports investigations into the effect of relative flexural stiffness of intermediate stiffeners γ on the failure zone location in the corrugated web. The study also aimed at obtaining stiffness criterion for intermediate stiffeners that depends on the magnitude of the plate geometry parameter α. To achieve the goals of the study, experimental investigations were conducted into load displacement paths of four exemplary SIN girders. They were simply supported girders, made to full scale, and composed of pre-assembled units. The phenomena occurring in the experiment were represented using the Finite Element Method. For FEM numerical analysis of girders with intermediate stiffeners, models with the web height of 1000, 1250 and 1500 mm, made from 2; 2.5 and 3 mm thick corrugated sheet metal were used. Due to the analysis of 52 girder numerical models, it was possible to propose the stiffness criterion of intermediate stiffeners. The criterion was based on the assessment of shear buckling strength of the corrugated web. Using the regression method, dimensionless coefficients of the stiffener stiffness ks dependent on the optimum stiffness γ were determined. Based on estimated coefficients of the stiffener stiffness ks, the absolute minimum stiffness of intermediate stiffeners Ismin used in corrugated web plate girders was calculated. It was demonstrated that the use of an intermediate stiffener, the stiffness of which is greater than Ismin , additionally leads to a change in the location of the site of the web shear buckling.

The study reports the investigations into the effect produced by flexural stiffness of end stiffeners on the design buckling resistance of the sine wave webs of girders. Experimental investigations were concerned with load displacement paths in sinusoidally corrugated web girders, composed of structural items and made to the full scale . The phenomena occurring in experimental investigations were represented using the Finite Element Method. In numerical models based on FEM analysis, the same failure modes of webs that were found in experimental investigations into corrugated web girders were accounted for. FEM numerical analysis was performed for girder models with webs 500, 1000, 1250 and 1500 mm in height, made of corrugated sheet metal 2, 2.5 and 3 mm in thickness. On the basis of laboratory tests and FEM analysis, a new method for estimating design shear buckling resistance for girders with semirigid and rigid end stiffeners was proposed. The method relies on the determination of interactive buckling resistance. The solution presented in this study was compared with formulas currently used for buckling resistance estimation. It was shown that the use of girder rigid end stiffeners produces in increase in shear buckling resistance up to 11%. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made with respect to the sizing of sine wave corrugated web girders with semirigid and rigid end stiffeners.

Especially for the main frames of single‐storey steel buildings the use of corrugated web beams, mainly with sinusoidal corrugation, has been increased very much during the last years. Due to the thin web of 1,5 mm to 3 mm corrugated web beams afford a significant weight reduction compared with hot rolled profiles or welded I‐sections. Buckling failure of the web is prevented by the corrugation. The buckling resistance of presently used sinusoidal corrugated webs is comparable with plane webs of 12 mm thickness or more. Due to improvements of the automatic fabrication process corrugated webs up to 6 mm thickness became possible. Therefore the field of application of this beam type has been extended considerable. Even short span bridges are possible now. The dimensioning of corrugated web beams is ruled by the EN 1993–1‐5 Annex D ‐ it covers only web thicknesses up to 3 mm. In the last years many tests and finite element simulations have been carried out. Regarding this background, these EN rules will be discussed and extended. Furthermore, additional proposals for patch loading and lateral‐torsional buckling of girders with sinussoidal webs will be given.

Until recently, steel plate girders with corrugated steel members were used primarily as poles and girders in the construction of industrial buildings. Currently, they are also being used in the construction of bridges. Compared to traditional steel and rolled girders, steel plate girders weigh less and are more stiff, while also having a neater appearance. In this paper, the results of an experimental study are present. The aim of the study was to determine the behavior of a bridge girder with sinusoidal web geometry when subjected to a bending moment. The study was focused on a composite steel and concrete structure with pin connections, which is currently the most common solution. Three near-real scale beams were subjected to bending tests. The study found that composite corrugated-web steel beams and non-composite corrugated-web steel beams showed similar forms of failure. A reinforced concrete slab did not prevent web stress concentration at the point of connection with the flange. Furthermore, the study indicates that corrugated steel webs in bridge girders can have a much smaller thickness (less than 8 mm) compared with the traditional solution.

We present results of the numerical investigation of the homogenous Dirichlet and Neumann problems to an age-sex-structured population dynamics deterministic model taking into account random mating, female’s pregnancy, and spatial diffusion. We prove the existence of separable solutions to the non-dispersing population model and, by using the numerical experiment, corroborate their local stability.

This paper revisits Chua's electrical circuit in the context of the Caputo derivative. We introduce the Caputo derivative into the modeling of the electrical circuit. The solutions of the new model are proposed using numerical discretizations. The discretizations use the numerical scheme of the Riemann-Liouville integral. We have determined the equilibrium points and study their local stability. The existence of the chaotic behaviors with the used fractional-order has been characterized by the determination of the maximal Lyapunov exponent value. The variations of the parameters of the model into the Chua's electrical circuit have been quantified using the bifurcation concept. We also propose adaptive controls under which the master and the slave fractional Chua's electrical circuits go in the same way. The graphical representations have supported all the main results of the paper.
