Nonlinear finite element analysis of tubular joints
… The numerical results give a clear and convincing physical interpretation of the effects of external loads on the ultimate static strength of tubular joints. The results include the stress redistribution within the joint at the ultimate state, the stiffness of the T-type joints at …
