In order to reduce the self-weight of RC buildings and increase cost-savings, the seismic performance of rectangular hollow sectioned columns was investigated by experimental and analytical studies. Cyclic loading tests were carried out under compres...
This study investigates the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns with hollow rectangular cross-sections through experimental testing and analytical evaluation. A series of hollow-sectioned column specimens with different shear span ra...
Based on the classical Timoshenko beam theory, the rotary inertia caused by shear deformation is further considered and then the equation of motion of the Timoshenko beam theory is modified. The dynamic characteristics of this new model, named the mo...
The optimisation of the design method for verification of slender steel beam-columns is still a current issue not only from scientific point of view, but also for design practice. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is comparison of the suita...
Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance properties, considerable long-term durability, and good mechanical strength. Hollow sections are a versatile and efficient form for construction applications. The use of cold-formed stainless steel r...
In this paper, a new type of assembling rivet-fastened rectangular hollow flange beams (ARHFBs) is proposed. The cross-section of the ARHFB consists of two U-shaped and C-shaped components connected by self-locking rivets to form two rectangular holl...
This study investigates the feasibility of kenaf fiber, which is a natural fiber, used as a polymer composite for use in quadcopter arm structures through finite element analysis. The research emphasizes the mechanical performance of various fiber or...
In micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM) milling, the cross-section of the microgroove machine is frequently not an ideal rectangle. For instance, there are arc shapes on the bottom and corners, and the sidewall is not steep. The theoretic...
This study systematically investigates the axial compression capacity calculation method for 7075-T6 aluminum alloy rectangular hollow section (RHS) members based on the Continuous Strength Method (CSM). Axial compression tests were conducted on nine...
Curved profiles/sections have been widely used for manufacturing lightweight structures with high stiffness and strength due to aerodynamics, structural properties, and design reasons. Structural components fabricated using curved aluminum profiles s...
In this work, a novel analytical equation is developed to accurately predict the mechanical behavior of thin-walled beams. The FEM was used for building the model and obtaining the results. The new equation developed is useful for the calculation of...
This paper reports analyses of a 5-degrees-of-freedom (5-DOF) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) robot manipulator, which has been developed for farm applications. The manipulator was made of aluminum alloy (AA) and steel materials. However, to c...
GFRP sections with filler concrete material form promising structural components for structures; therefore, the structural performance of them has been investigated with increasing popularity. However, the performance of these composites degrades whe...
To investigate the mechanical behavior and load-carrying capacity calculation methods of square concrete-filled steel tube (SCFST) members under biaxial eccentric tension, an experimental program was designed and conducted involving three square holl...
