Local Buckling of Steel Plates in Composite Structures under Combined Bending and Compression

Abstract

In this paper, explicit local buckling analysis of steel plates in composite structures under combine bending and compression and with elastic restraint against rotation is presented. Unique displacement function, which combines sinusoidal and cosine functions along x-and y-directions and satisfies boundary and loading conditions, is proposed to account for the effect of restraint of concrete and the elastic rotational restraint stiffness along both the loaded and unloaded edges of the steel plates. The explicit local buckling solution for the elastically restrained steel plates in composite structures is simplified to several special cases (e.g., the CS, CC, SS and KS steel plates) subjected to combined bending and compression. To verify the accuracy of the explicit solutions, experimental data, available solutions in the literature, and finite element results are compared, and reasonable agreement has been observed, particularly for the simplified cases. Parametric study is further conducted, and the effects of different parameters such as the aspect ratio and the loading stress gradient parameter on the local buckling stress resultants of steel plates with different boundary conditions are discussed.

The effect of spheroidal graphite on fracture process initiation in cast iron

“…Although nucleation deformation depends on the stress state, it has been found that the phase boundary strength is only very weakly affected by the stress state and the level of plastic deformation [4]. Due to the non-homogeneity of plastic deformation, it is difficult to estimate the maximum stress value at the phase boundary [6]. The original model of phase boundary strength [7] was later elaborated by Brown and Stobbs [8], who estimated phase boundary strength as the sum of local stress E and the yield strength 0m of the basic matrix, where…”

Anti-Buckling Design of Rectangular Thin Plate Based on Local Surface Nanocrystallization

“…Emero [5] presented an optimization algorithm with respect to the reinforcement arrangements, the sizes, intervals and lengths of stiffened ribs were optimized for better buckling resistance of the rectangular plates. Besides, Qin [6] researched the local buckling of composite plates under bending, compression and elastic restraints. In general, the current methods on anti-buckling design of rectangular tubes mainly focus on structural modification or material reconstruction.…”
