- Abstract
Seven complex shaped thin-walled aluminum alloy members were tested under axial compression to investigate the local buckling and the interaction of local and global buckling behaviors. The member lengths studied were 350 mm and 190 mm, respectively. The directions of initial imperfection were in the symmetric and un-symmetric axis of the cross-section with the magnitude of 1/500 and 1/70 of the column height, respectively. Measured results included the failure modes, buckling strengths and load-axial displacement curves. A nonlinear finite element (FE) model was developed. The accuracy and reliability of the FE model was verified by experimental results. Parametric studies including 615 models consisted of different plate thickness and column heights were carried out using the validated FE model. Buckling strengths predicted by the FE model were compared with those calculated by the current design methods, including the American aluminum (AA) design manual, the European code (EC9), Chinese design specification for aluminum structures (GB 50429) and the direct strength method (DSM). Comparison results show that the cuiTent design methods underestimate the buckling strengths of complex shaped aluminum alloy members under axial compression. The buckling strengths obtained by the design codes are less than 85% of those predicted by FE model. The DSM can accurately predict the buckling strength of aluminum alloy members with complex shaped cross section under axial compression forces. Ratio between the buckling strength obtained from DSM and FE model is about 0.90. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
