FEM analysis for the behaviour of two-dimensional CHS joints with asymmetrical Full-Overlapped top-connection

Experimental Case Studies about Uniplanar SHS Joints with Full-Overlapped Top Connection

“…Moreover, these small differences in numerical and experimental results can be taken into account and used when a correlation factor is proposed for the analytical models. By comparing the results to models with intermediate steel plates [5][6][7][8], a higher resistance is achieved concerning the uniplanar full-overlapped joints with a direct pipe connection. The lines of application merge together in the center of the intermediate plate.…”

“…The joints fail before cracks appear. The implementation of the crack stress distribu- By comparing the results to models with intermediate steel plates [5][6][7][8], a higher resistance is achieved concerning the uniplanar full-overlapped joints with a direct pipe connection. The lines of application merge together in the center of the intermediate plate.…”

“…Heinemann et al studied the multiplanar [4] and uniplanar joints [5][6][7]. The joints studied so far mostly include intermediate plates [8], thus the analytical and numerical models are not comparable to the results of tests concerning the specimens made with a fulloverlapped welding joint.…”
