the mechanical properties and microstructural developments of 321 stainless steel during thermomechanicalprocess were investigated. the repetitive cold rolling and subsequent annealing wereconducted to achieve nanocrystalline structure in an aisi 321 stainless steel. heavily cold rolling at−20°c was conducted to form martensite in metastable austenitic steel. the process was followed byannealin...

This paper presents a dynamic nonlinear numerical simulation of a 5-story full-scale steel frame structure based on Perform-3D. Flexibility-based fiber element and Maxwell model are adopted for structure member simulation after a post analysis of the shaking table test of a 4-story full-scale steel frame. The author simulates the low cyclic reciprocating load test for the steel members with fib...

In the present study, the effect of core on shear lag phenomenon in tubular structures is investigated. Three different tubular structure models including model without core, model with central core and model with central core but eliminated in last 15 stories have been analyzed. A shear lag index is defined for evaluating these models. From examination of the results, the effective influence o...
