AIMS OF THE RESEARCH LOCALISED LOADING CASES RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

• Development of the SAFSM for analyses of
thin-walled sections under localised loading
with general boundary conditions
• Development of the Direct Strength Method
(DSM) for web crippling
• Interior one-flange loading (IOF)
• Exterior one-flange loading (EOF)
• Interior two-flange loading (ITF)
• Exterior two-flange loading (ETF)
• The SAFSM is used in pre-buckling and buckling analyses
on THIN-WALL-2 program to get the buckling load (Pcr)
and compared with the FEM on Abaqus
• The plastic mechanism models are proposed to determine
the yield load (Py) of thin-walled sections under localised
loading
