In ferritic stainless steel (FSS), undesirable surface defects of ridging appear during deep drawing. The formation of these defects is attributed to the inhomogeneous distribution of orientations of individual grains. In the present work, a new electron backscattered diffraction R(α)-value map was introduced, and the dependence of the tensile directions on the formation of ridging in an FSS sh...

An experimental investigation is performed on various cold-formed profiled sheets to study the connection behavior of composite deck slab actions using bolted shear connectors. Various profiles like dovetailed (or) re-entrant profiles, rectangular and trapezoidal are used in present investigation. This deals with evaluation parameters such as ultimate load carrying capacity versus deflection, s...

The technique of strengthening steel structures with Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) has attracted growing attention in research field and in practice and its environmental durability is of high importance. This paper describes an investigation on the bond characteristics between high modulus CFRP sheet and steel plates under elevated temperature exposures. Tensile tests were carried out...
