Lateral and distortional buckling ofpultruded I - beams Ever
نویسنده
چکیده
The elastic buckling modes of pultruded I-beams subjected to various loading conditions are studied. The coupling of lateral and distortional buckling, very likely to appear in thin-walled cross-sections, is investigated. Plate theory is used to allow for distortion of the cross-section. Shear effects and bendingt\\isting coupling are accounted for in the analysis, because of their significant role. The effect of fiber orientation in the matrix and volume fraction is investigated by a parametric study. Pultruded cross-sections are always.thin-walled due to constraints in the manufacturing process. Hence, the buckling strength determines the overall strength of the member. The results presented correspond to actual pultruded cross-sections being used in civil engineering types of structure.

DEVELOPMENT OF NEURAL NETWORK MODELS TO ESTIMATE LATERAL-DISTORTIONAL BUCKLING RESISTANCE OF CELLULAR STEEL BEAMS
The lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) strength of cellular steel girders that were subjected to web distortion was rarely examined. Since no formulation has been presented for predicting the capacity of such beams, in the current paper an extensive numerical investigation containing 660 specimens was modeled using finite element analysis (FEA) to consider the ultimate lateral-distortional buckli...
متن کاملDistortional Buckling Tests on Cold-Formed Steel Beams
Failure in cold-formed steel beams is generally initiated by one of three instabilities: local, distortional, or lateral-torsional buckling. For cold-formed steel joists, purlins, or girts, when the compression flange is not restrained by attachment to sheathing or paneling, distortional buckling may be the predominant failure mode. Experimental results on cold-formed steel beams with unrestrai...

Composite steel/concrete beams may buckle in hogging bending regions. As the top flange of I-beam in that arrangement is restricted from any translational deformation and twist, the web will distort during buckling presenting a phenomenon often described as restricted distortional buckling. There are limited studies available in the literature of restricted distortional buckling of composite st...

This paper presents an analytical method to calculate the buckling stress of a rectangular thin plate under nonuniform applied axial stresses. Two cases are considered, buckling of a plate simply supported on all four sides and buckling of a plate simply supported on three sides with one unloaded edge free and the opposite unloaded edge rotationally restrained. These two cases illustrate the in...

This paper presents the application of micro/macromechanics models and optimization techniques for the optimum design of pultruded glass fiberreinforced plastic composite I-beams with respect to material architecture: fiber orientations and fiber percentages. The beams are subjected to transverse loading, and beam deflection, buckling resistance and material failure are considered as multiple o...
