An experiment investigating the elastic local buckling response of trough girders composed of thin profiled steel sheeting has been undertaken Beam tests were performed to promote initial local buckling in a region of constant moment in the elastic range of structural response. The results of the experiments were compared with an elastic complex semi-analytical finite strip method of analysis, ...

this work is an attempt towards employing ductile damage criterion and finite elementsimulations for prediction of fracture initiation and evolution in deep drawing of copper/stainlesssteel clad sheets. the material mechanical properties and ductile damage parameters weredetermined through standard and notched tensile tests. the effect of some important processparameters on damage evolution wer...

a low carbon al-killed ti-added steel was produced in mobarakeh steel complex in iran. mechanical properties and microstructural characterizations of steel in the as-cast, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and annealed conditions are presented. dilatometery tests were carried out to measure the finishing and annealing temperatures of steel. it was found that the addition of small amounts of ti increased ...

This paper deals with the eff ects of technological parameters used in the V-die bending process, on the obtained product properties and dimensions. By variation of the tool geometry, several cases of steel sheet bending process are observed through the FEM simul...

The objectives in the cold rolling process include improved sheet surface quality, enhanced steel mechanical strength, and better solidification operations. Given the increasing demand for higher steel...

Thermal treatments and thermo-mechanical processing routes were applied on a conventional structural steel (st37 steel: 0.12C-1.11Mn-0.16Si) for improvement of tensile properties and enhancement of work-hardening behavior. Full annealing resulted in a sheet with coarse ferrite grains and pearlite colonies arranged alternatively in distinct bands, which showed high ductility, low strength, and t...

A series of tests was conducted on six 2.7 m × 3.7 m shear wall specimens consisting of cold-formed steel framing sheathed on one side with sheet steel adhered to gypsum board and on the opposite side with plain gypsum board. The specimens were subjected to various sequences of simulated seismic shear deformation and fire exposure to study the influence of multi-hazard interactions on the later...

Abstract Steel sheet pile walls are being widely used in civil engineering projects for support systems. Soil is not uniform in depth, sometimes may be exit loose or soft soil layer in various depth. This issue can cause different effects on ground surface displacements, forces and moments acting on sheet piles and struts during excavation procedure, compared with status that soil is uniform...
