Numerical Study of the Bearing Capacity and Modes of Buckling Failure of a Metal Scaffolding Unit Subjected to Vertical Compression

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents results from an experimental and numerical investigation that was initiated from the failure of a complex scaffolding 3-D frame that was

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Steel Sections of Storage Systems Tested to Failure

“…Each numerical model was a very close representation of the tested specimens in terms of geometric details. The numerical analysis included the inelastic behavior of the material of the specimens through the ABAQUS isotropic hardening constitutive law by means of a table of true stress -true strains ( [3], [4], [5]). The relevant values of this constitutive material load were introduced based on relevant axial tension experiments of coupons performed in the laboratory of Experimental Strength of Materials and Structures of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki [5].…”
