dc.description.abstract | <p> A research programme is presented to more fully understand the behaviour of Round Hollow Structural Sections subjected to inelastic strain reversals. An attempt is made to establish a preliminary guideline for choosing a reasonable value for the slenderness ratio (D/t) that qualifies the Round HSS for cyclic loading. </p> <p> An experimental programme on nine sections was performed to evaluate the loss in load capacity due to inelastic cyclic loading and to construct the load-deflection hysteresis loops. </p> <p> Three different limiting cyclic deflections were imposed to the smallest D/t section and a comparison was made between the performance of the tube in each case. </p> <p> Prasad's computer program was used to select the strain value at which local buckling will appear and to calculate the half buckle wave-length. The results were compared to the experimental results obtained by the author. </p> <p> A comparison is made between two Round HSS having different diameters and thicknesses but the same D/t ratio. </p> <p> A comparison is made between the behaviour of Round HSS and Square HSS subjected to the same cyclic loading programme. </p> <p> An attempt is made to suggest a reasonable curve relating the number of cycles to failure and the D/t ratio. </p> | en_US |
