Cyclic Elastoplastic Analysis and Stability Evaluation of Steel Braces of Hollow Section
Publication: Structures Congress 2008: 18th Analysis and Computation Specialty Conference
Abstract
This paper deals with the cyclic elastoplastic analysis and stability evaluation of steel braces of hollow sections subjected to axial tension and compression. The inelastic cyclic performance of cold-formed steel braces of circular and box hollow sections is examined through finite element analysis using the commercial computer program ABAQUS. First some of the most important parameters considered in the practical design and ductility evaluation of steel braces of tubular hollow sections are presented. Then the details of finite element modeling and numerical analysis are described. Later the accuracy of the analytical model employed in the analysis is substantiated by comparing the analytical results with the available test data in the literature. Finally the effects of some important structural and material parameters on cyclic inelastic behavior of steel braces are discussed and evaluated.
