BEHAVIOR AND MAXIMUM STRENGTH OF METAL COLUMNS.

Abstract

By means of digital computer simulation the complete load-deformation history of a column was obtained. About on thousand simulation column tests provided a basis to establish systematically the maximum strength and study the behavior of both straight and initially crooked columns for various yield point steels and a typical aluminum alloy. The effects of residual stress, alone or in combination with initial crookedness, are systematically evaluated for steel columns. (Author)
