Material Effects—Statistics of Steel Tube Struts
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 117, Issue 2
Abstract
The test results of 92 tubular steel, pin‐ended struts under different conditions are studied by statistical analysis. The significant influence of material effects, such as strain aging, strain hardening, and the Bauschinger effect on strut load capacity, is investigated by applying a two‐way analysis of variance test. These three material effects are found to exercise a significant influence on strut load capacity for both the rimming steel and the semikilled steel used. The Bauschinger effect plays a dominant role in reducing strut load capacity, while both strain hardening and strain aging have a significant influence on increasing load capacity.
