Flexural Behavior of Innovative Posttensioned Composite Beams with Corrugated Steel Webs
Steel-concrete composite beams with corrugated steel webs (CSWs) usually have concrete flanges that are prone to crack under tension, and an innovative posttensioned composite beam (IPCB) with CSWs has been proposed previously to overcome this ...

Meso-scale modelling of 3D woven composite T-joints with weave variations [PDF]
A meso-scale modelling framework is proposed to simulate the 3D woven fibre architectures and the mechanical performance of the composite T-joints, subjected to quasi-static tensile pull-off loading. The proposed method starts with building the realistic

Application of response surface methodology to stiffened panel optimization [PDF]
In a multilevel optimization frame, the use of surrogate models to approximate optimization constraints allows great time saving. Among available metamodelling techniques we chose to use Neural Networks to perform regression of static mechanical criteria,

Leakage control for a flat flange model with a gap based on sealing liquid viscosity
Flat flanges are sealed using a gasket, used to prevent leakage between the static surfaces. Gaskets comprise synthetic materials such as rubber, copper alloys, and plastic and they are inserted between two planes to strengthen the sealing performance ...

Due to the shear strain in the plane of the slab, the parts of the slab remote from the steel beam lag behind the part of the slab located in its proximity. This shear lag effect causes a non-uniform stress distribution across the width of the slab. As a

Influence of flange width and wall parameters on effectiveness of cold-formed steel Sigma-profile in bending behavior [PDF]
The effectiveness of bending behavior of cold-formed steel profiles is studied. The purpose of the study was to estimate the influence of section parameters - flange width and size of the wall portion, adjacent to the flange – on effectiveness of the ...

Analytical Study on the Effective Flange Width for T-shaped Shear Walls
This study was organized to derive simplified expressions to estimate the effective flange width for T-shaped shear walls at different loading stages. For that purpose, the variation in the effective flange width was explored by introducing dimensionless effective flange width coefficient.
