A finite difference based finite strip method for the analysis of translational shell structures
A numerical, method for the analysis of translational shell structures is presented. The finite strip concept is utilised together with finite difference approximations to the differential, equations along nodal, tines. Numerical examples include open and closed translational shells with various …

Collapse behaviour of steel columns in fire.
… theories, column behaviour at room temperature, finite strip method and the behaviour of columns at elevated temperature. Part 1, consisting of Chapters 3 to 5, reports on the development of the small deflection finite strip method which includes the effect of plastification of component plates …

Finite strip analysis of curved plate structures
A finite difference based finite strip method of analysis is presented for the solution of curved plate structures subject to normal loading. By applying variational methods to the principle of minimum potential energy the governing differential equation for a curved finite strip element is formed. …

Development of a Global/Local Approach and a Geometrically Non-linear Local Panel Analysis for Structural Design
… plate structures was developed. Both a "full" finite strip solution procedure and a "reduced" solution procedure were implemented in a FORTRAN 90 computer code, and comparisons were made with results available in the technical literature. Both the full and reduced solution procedures were …

The use of generalized beam theory, finite elements and experimental testing to investigate the stability of light gauge steel sections subject to axial load
… and local buckling) and buckling analysis methods (finite element method, finite strip method and generalized beam theory) are addressed. The literature review is concerned with computer software applications, theoretical analyses and experimental tests which can predict buckling loads and …

Cold-Formed Steel Behavior: Elastic Buckling Simplified Methods for Structural Members with Edge-Stiffened Holes and Purlin Distortional Buckling Strength Under Gravity Loading
Elastic Buckling Simplified Methods for Structural Members with Edge-Stiffened Holes: Presently, the current design methods available to engineers to predict the strength of cold-formed steel members with edge-stiffened holes remains largely unaddressed in the North American Specification for the …
