In the field of cold bending, it is necessary to use ball mandrels, especially bend thin-walled tubes with a small radius. However, bending process mandrel complex and expensive, easy jam core inside tube. To solve these issues, we designed two kinds hollow non-ball schemes low stiffness that were suitable for radius tubes. We evaluated forming quality numerically influence section length thick...

The standard BS EN 15227 requires accurate numerical modelling of railway vehicle energy absorbers that must be correlated against experimental data. Although thin-walled tubes can exhibit anisotropy, such models have traditionally included isotropic material properties. Thus, this work investigates whether anisotropic may increase the accuracy shrinking tube absorbers. Tensile testing extruded...

Steel thin-walled beams have been widely used in civil engineering as purlins, ceiling beams or wall substructure beams. There are often planar members such as trapezoidal sheeting or sandwich panels used as roof or wall cladding fastened to the steel beams. The planar members also serve as stabilization of thin-walled beams against buckling due to loss of stability. This paper focuses on probl...

This paper introduces the mechanical behavior of precise straightening thin-walled members systematically. As a result of its cross section characteristics of the thin-walled members, traditional straightening theory does not work well in the straightening process of this kind of metal bar stock. Considering the stress evolvement of section during the straightening process, a model was built to...

Aim of this research is the vibration analysis and control of rotating composite thin-walled beam containing distributed piezoelectric sensors and actuators. The formulation is based on thin-walled, single cell composite beam including the warping function, centrifugal force, Coriolis acceleration and piezoelectric effect. Adaptive capability of thin-walled beam is obtained by PVDF sensor and p...

The behavior of two series corroded thin-walled concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) was investigated in this paper. One series, called the CT consists fourteen CFST specimens by NaCl solution, while other, AT six test pieces atmosphere. Outer surfaces were scanned using a 3D scanner machine, and complete surface profile each specimen obtained for corrosion evaluation different methods study. En...
