Imperfections and Thin-Walled Bars Behaviour

by J. B. Obrebski, Warsaw Univ of Technology, Warsaw, Poland,
M. E. El-Awadi, Warsaw Univ of Technology, Warsaw, Poland,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Spatial, Lattice and Tension Structures

Abstract:

Experimental and theoretical observations allowed us to present some new conclusions concerning the proper, and safe designing of the structures composed of thin-walled bars (TWB). These structures are very sensitive to small changes of cross-sections (CS) - their dimensions, boundary conditions (BC), material properties etc.. Almost all contemporary structures may be considered (as comprising the elements) of a such type. It makes the effects of this work so important. Below we quoted only some most significant conclusions.

Subject Headings: Material properties | Structural safety | Structural behavior | Thin wall structures | Structural analysis | Sensitivity analysis | Construction materials
