In this paper, a constitutive relationship of the concrete core restrained by L-Shaped steel tube is put forward based on referring to the constitutive relations of core concrete in concrete-filled square steel tube columns, which takes the restraint of steel tube to concrete as an equivalent confinable effect coefficient . Load-deformation relationship of L-Shaped concrete-filled steel tubular column subjected to axial compression is analyzed by finite element analysis (using ABAQUS software). The predicted load versus deformation relationship cures are in good agreement with those of tests based on the finite element analysis, loads carried by steel tubes and concrete respectively during the loading process, as well as interactions between them are analyzed. Finally, influences of length-width ratio and width-thickness ratio on the interaction between steel tubes and concrete are investigated.

Wave spring is a key component of multi-disc wet clutch and the response speed and running quality of multi-disc wet clutch is affected by its characteristics. This paper analyses the theoretical calculation of load-deformation relationship of wave spring. The load-deformation relationship of wave spring is obtained by ANSYS10.0 software according to its structural characteristics and actual boundary condition and compared with the calculated results based on different methods and the measured value, and then study the effect of the wave number on the load-deformation relationship of wave spring. The results show that the calculated value of finite element analysis (FEM) is closer to the measured value and the FEM has more advantages on simulation of the working performance of wave spring.

The article analysis the seismic behaviors of circular steel tube composite column filled with steel reinforced concrete by the large finite element analysis software ABAQUS, adopted the load-displacement method and aimed at studying the mechanical properties of circular steel tube composite columns filled with steel reinforced concrete under horizontal low-cyclic loading, considering the degree of ductility, capacity of energy dissipation by the steel ratio and axial compression ratio. Under different axial compression ratios and steel ratios, the hysteresis curves and skeleton curves are carried out. Along with the increase of steel ratio, the deformation ability and ultimate bearing capacity are raised, but with the increase of axial compression ratio, the deformation ability becomes worse.

This article analyzes five concrete-filled double steel tubular column models based on the large finite element analysis software ABAQUS. An axial compression test was carried out on specimens with different diameter-thickness ratio of internal steel tube in order to get the whole longitudinal load-displacement curves and the whole load- strain curves for internal and external steel tube and concrete. We get the ultimate bearing capacity for five specimens, the result of simulation agree well with the theoretical calculation data, that provide reliable data for concrete-filled double steel tubular column in respect of finite element (FE) simulation.

As China’s infrastructure grows rapidly, the use of concrete-filled steel tubular structures for engineering applications is attracting increasing interest owing to their high section modulus, high strength and good seismic performance. However, for concrete-filled steel tubular members with large width-to-thickness ratio, steel tubes are prone to outward buckling when they are subjected to axial compression. Welding of longitudinal stiffeners on the steel tubes is one of the most efficient approaches for delaying local buckling and thus improving the mechanical performance of such type of concrete-filled steel tubular members. This study attempts to investigate the axial compression behaviour of concrete-filled stiffened steel tubular members with square sections through experimental study and finite element analysis. First, 14 concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns, with different width-to-thickness ratios of steel tube and depth-to-thickness ratios of stiffener, were subjected to axial compression loads and tested. It was found that the use of stiffeners increases the ultimate strength and improves the stability of the stub columns. Later, an investigation on the behaviour of the stiffened concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns was carried out through a three-dimensional finite element analysis. The accuracy of the finite element analysis model was verified by the test results. A parametric study was conducted to further evaluate the stiffening schemes that influence the axial compression strength. Finally, the research findings were synthesized into a new simplified model to predict the load-carrying capacity of stiffened concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns that allows for large width-to-thickness ratios.

Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is a kind of cement-based composite which has ultra-high strength, high ductility and durability. RPC has great fragility, bad ductility and bursting fragility destruction subjected to high or complicated stress. The fragility performance of RPC will be improved when RPC is cast in steel tubes. The behavior of axially loaded RPC-filled steel tube circular stub columns is presented in this discussion according to the experiment and finite element analysis. An accurate finite element model was developed to carry out the analysis. Accurate nonlinear material models for confined concrete and steel tubes were used. The results obtained from the finite element analysis were verified against experimental results.

The new composite structure concrete-filled square steel tube (CFST) column with inner CFRP profiles is proposed. A finite element model is presented to investigate the mechanical behavior of CFST short columns with internal CFRP profiles subjected to axial compression using ABAQUS based on reasonable constitutive models of materials. In a addition, the content of CFRP profiles and width thickness ratio of steel tube’ effect are considered on mechanical properties of the column. Based on the model, the whole stage of axial compression of the short columns, failure mode and the stress mechanism of the ultimate bearing capacity state are calculated and analyzed.

Further research on constitutive model of RPC (Reactive Powder Concrete) restrained by steel tube under axial compression is analyzed based on the research on concrete-filled steel tube and RPC-filled steel tube at home and abroad. Finite element analysis on RPC-filled steel tube stub columns under axial compression is conducted with ABAQUS to analyze the confinement index, core concrete strength and contact property on ultimate bearing capacity of RPC restrained by steel tube. As the confinement index and the core concrete strength increasing, the bearing capacity of RPC restrained by steel tube increases. The model with frictionless contact form has greater bearing capacity, but the ductility decreases.
