Nonlinear FE Investigation on Behavior of Cold-Formed Stainless-Steel Columns Subject to Cyclic Loading
Thin-Walled Structures: Journal for Civil and Structural Engineering
This paper investigates the seismic behavior of cold-formed stainless-steel HSS columns under combined axial compression and cyclic bending using a validated three-dimensional nonlinear FE model developed in ANSYS. Parametric analyses reveal the effects of key geometric parameters on hysteretic response and local buckling, providing insights for improved seismic design of cold-formed stainless-steel columns.
