Recently, there has been an increasing number of studies on the distortional buckling analyses cold-formed steel (CFS) channels with web edge-stiffened holes. However, literature about analytical solutions is scarce, and current design rules, e.g., American Iron Steel Institute (AISI 2016) Australian/New Zealand standards (AS/NZ 4600: 2018), provide little advice for CFS This paper presents met...

Abstract This paper presents a robust assessment of debond in glass fibre-reinforced polymer composite structure with L-stiffener attachment. Towards this, the ultrasonic guided wave (GW) propagation based laboratory experiments have been carried out on stiffened panel piezoelectric transducers for excitation GWs and scanning laser Doppler vibrometer sensing GW propagation. To study changes cau...

Vertical load was applied uniformly over the entire top surface of the plate, and the load was increased in increments. For each load increment, the equilibrium state of the problem was determined. Because of the continuously hardening postyield behavior of Titanium Grade 7, equilibrium could be achieved for any vertical load. However, at a certain load level, the region of the plate between th...

Abstract This paper investigates the seismic behavior of steel beam-column connections with outer annular stiffener under bi-directional cyclic loadings. Five welded three-dimensional configurated by hollow square structural (HSS) column sections, H-shaped beams, and was tested. The main parameters considered in this experimental study include loading protocols (anti-symmetric bidirectional uni...

This paper presents a practical procedure for creating finite element (FE) model vibration analysis of cruise ships. The most preferable FE modelling approaches are studied and discussed through case studies common ship structures, which cover the range from low to high frequencies. application homogenized equivalent single layer (ESL) theory based stiffened panel is extended local forced analy...
