In practice, the cold-formed steel structures are widely used, and their geometrical nonlinearity is of great significance in structural design. However, the current analytical solutions are only applied to linear problems, and the nonlinear problems are mostly considered by commercial finite element software. This paper presents an analytical model to describe the bending-induced cross-sectional deformation in cold-formed steel channel-section beams when subjected to transverse bending loads. The nonlinear effect of cross-sectional deformation on the relationship between the overall bending curvature and applied moment is examined. A parametric study is also carried out to examine how the flange width, lip length, and thickness of the section affect the cross-sectional deformation and corresponding nonlinear bending behavior of the beams.

In the paper, the methodology and main results of two research projects on nonconventional cold-formed thin-walled steel structures are presented. Laboratory tests, standard-based calculations, numerical models, and the connection of these to design method development are summarized. The implementation of the methodology is presented on two areas in detail: CompressionC-section members and a truss made of C-section members. The studied CompressionC-section members are of various cross-sectional arrangement and end- and lateral-supporting conditions. They consist of single or double asymmetric C-section members; in the latter case, either a back-to-back arrangement is applied or two sections are stuck in each other, forming a box-like closed section. The applied load is in each case compression with different eccentricities. Test arrangement, program, and results are presented; measured load-bearing capacities are compared to resistances calculated according to Eurocode 3, Part 1–3 where applicable, design rules for the cases not covered by the code are proposed. Trusses made of C-sections from the same product line are analyzed in the light of full-scale laboratory tests. EC3-based design formulae are derived for the failure modes obtained in the tests either by modifying existing application rules or by deriving new ones from these. Advanced numerical models of both structures are presented with focus on modeling imperfections, bolted connections, and joint rigidities.

To address the various instability problems in cold-formed steel members, many researchers have mainly focused on developing innovative sectional profiles wherein geometry of the section plays a vital role in enhancing the inherent resistance of such sections against premature buckling. However, the process of forming such innovative shapes is not only complex and time-consuming but sometimes such sections fail to mobilize their complete reserve strength. Hence, a stiffening arrangement of weaker zones for mobilizing the untapped reserve strength is suggested. The contribution of this simple, effective and partly stiffening arrangements, aimed at eliminating/delaying the premature local buckling, is studied both experimentally and numerically and also compared with existing codes. Experimental study was carried out on different simply supported cold-formed steel beams with judiciously proposed stiffening arrangements under four-point loading. An equivalent hot-rolled steel beam was also tested to compare the efficiency of the cold-formed steel beams. The cold-formed steel beams investigated had different width-to-thickness ratio, different geometries and different stiffening arrangements. The test strengths, failure modes, deformed shapes, load versus mid-span displacements and geometric imperfections were measured and reported. The test strengths of the beam models are also compared with the design strength predicted by North American Standards and Eurocode for cold-formed steel structures. To validate the test results further, a numerical study was carried out on such stiffened cold-formed steel beams using finite element software ABAQUS. All these results show that the proposed strengthening system is efficient and economical and allow cold-formed steel beams to reach greater load carrying capacity.

The effective sectional area concept was adopted to conduct the analysis of cold-formed Tension members. ANSYS software was utilized to simulate the behavior of cold-formed steel angle under tension load. The paper describes the results from a finite element investigation into the load capacity tension members of single angle sections of 1.5,.1.6,2 3,4 mm and double angles sections of 2mm under plain (without Lipped) and with Lipped conditions subjected to tension. Numerical investigations were carried out using finite element software ANSYS. In order to simulate the experimental behavior using the analytical model, material non-linearity’s and geometric nonlinearity’s were incorporated. The ultimate strength for cross – sectional dimensions with varying eccentricity loads under tension loading conditions was achieved through the ANSYS 15.0 workbench. In the numerical investigation, 180 specimens were modeled on tensioning elements attached to bolts. To find equivalent stress, equivalent elastic strain and total deformation of single and double-angle sections were investigated.

Background: Deliberate self-harm (DSH) occurs with high frequency among clinical and nonclinical youth populations. Although depression has been consistently linked with the behavior, not all depressed individuals engage in DSH. Aims: The current study examined maladaptive coping strategies (i.e., self-blame, distancing, and self-isolation) as mediators between depression and DSH among undergraduate students. Methods: 202 students from undergraduate psychology courses at a private university in Southern California (77.7% women) completed anonymous self-report measures. Results: A hierarchical regression model found no differences in DSH history across demographic variables. Among coping variables, self-isolation alone was significantly related to DSH. A full meditational model was supported: Depressive symptoms were significantly related to DSH, but adding self-isolation to the model rendered the relationship nonsignificant. Limitations: The cross-sectional study design prevents determination of whether a casual relation exists between self-isolation and DSH, and obscures the direction of that relationship. Conclusions: Results suggest targeting self-isolation as a means of DSH prevention and intervention among nonclinical, youth populations.

Abstract. Previous research suggests that parenting style influences the development of the needs for achievement, power, and affiliation. The present study investigated the relationship between parenting style and another important motive disposition – the need for autonomy – in a sample of Singapore university students ( N = 97, 69% female), using a cross-sectional and retrospective design. It was predicted that an authoritative perceived parenting style would relate positively to the implicit need for autonomy ( nAut), the explicit need for autonomy ( sanAut), and the congruence between these two motive dispositions. Authoritative maternal parenting was found to positively associate with sanAut, while maternal parenting was not found to associate with nAut, or with nAut/ sanAut congruence. Paternal parenting was not associated with any of the dependent variables.
