DISTORTIONAL BUCKLING RESISTANCE OF THIN-WALLED PROFILES MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL

Abstract

: The described research is focused on load-bearing capacity of compressed, stainless steel, thin-walled elements with a stiffener. This is typically a matter of trapezoidal sheeting design. An extensive numerical study was carried out with validation done on experiments from literature. As a result, a proposal of a distortional buckling curve specifically intended for stainless steel was made.
