The objective of this paper is to investigate the buckling behavior and to present the design method of the ultimate strength in the basic effective width method (EWM) for cold-formed steel (CFS) lipped channel stud columns with holes in the web. 28 column tests were conducted under axial compression on the CFS lipped channel stud columns with circular and rectangular holes in different dimensions of cross sections and holes. The tested stud columns included 4 members without holes, 12 members with circular holes, and 12 members with rectangular holes. The test results showed that the stud columns with holes were governed by local buckling or the interaction of local buckling and distortional buckling. Compared with the stud columns without holes, the small hole had a slight influence on the ultimate strength of the tested specimens, and the large hole had a great effect on the ultimate strength of the tested specimens. The load capacities of the specimens decreased with the increase of the dimension of holes. Then, the finite element analysis was carried out to simulate the tested stud columns. The finite element analysis results showed good agreement with the experimental results about buckling modes and ultimate strengths, which indicated that it is feasible to analyze this kind of stud columns with holes by using the finite element method (FEM). Finally, the proposed effective width method was used to predict the ultimate strengths of stud columns with holes based on the proposed buckling coefficient formulas of the plate with holes. The comparison between calculated results and test and finite element results indicated that the proposed EWM is feasible and accurate to predict the ultimate strength of the CFS lipped channel stud columns with holes in the web.

The design of fold cutter influences the precision, velocity and stability of the web press folder. For the variable structure of fold cutter, its hard to solve the status of the stress and distortion by the normal mechanical method. But by the finite element analysis and ANSYS software, its convenience to solve this problem based on the reasonable analysis of the load in working state. It can supply the favorable bases to the design of web presss fold cutter by analysis the stress and distortion. In the example, the conclusion can be gotten that the intensity of fold cutter meet the requirements sufficiently, but the stiffness is insufficient softly, which influences the folding precision.

This research mainly concentrates on ultimate strength and buckling behaviour of cold formed steel (CFS) laterally un-braced longitudinally stiffened box sections under flexure. A total of five various stiffener combinations for box sections has been studied by modifying the shape of a simple end stiffened section by the provision of intermediate stiffeners along web, flange or both along web and flange. The influence of different types of stiffeners with respect to various aspect radio’s (H/T, B/T, C/T and H/B) have been studied using Finite Element Method (FEM), and recommendations have been proposed on provisions of different stiffener’s combinations. This study mainly details with ultimate strength and buckling behaviour of CFS laterally unbraced stiffened box sections made by C sections connected face to face.

Stressed Design

Finite-element analysis was used in the design of an unconventional tanker web frame which satisfies certain requirements stipulated by an isolated ballast system. The weight of the web frame was then minimized using an optimality criterion based on a fully stressed design. A double iteration procedure was developed which allowed for the efficient use of the optimization program in conjunction with the finite-element analysis. The reduction in the weight of the web frame is dependent on the minimum allowed plate thickness as shown in the results of the paper.

This paper presents experimental results and finite element analysis of the cold-formed steel bolted connection under shear loading. Experiments are conducted to study the ultimate behaviors, such as ultimate strength and failure mode of connections. The samples were fabricated into three different groups, single bolted, double bolted and quadruple bolted connection. Material properties were determined by tensile coupon testing. Bearing failure modes were detected in the bolted connection tests. The ultimate capacities were compared with the nominal strengths calculated using the AISI (2012). The comparisons show that the nominal strength parameters predicted by this specification is conservative. The finite element analysis shell elements were used to model the cold-formed steel plate while solid elements were used to model the bolted fastenings for the purpose of studying the structural behavior of bolted connections. Material nonlinearities, contact problem and geometry nonlinearities analysis are carried out in order to predict ultimate strength and failure mode of connections. The results show that the proposed model accurately represents the failure mode and ultimate strength of bolted connection, as determined from experimental investigation. The new factor for type of bearing connection has a good agreement with the tested bearing strength of bolt connection.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.
