  2. Jack Spangler Jim Kelly Cheng Yu …most of the CE Grads Sam Phillips Liakos Ariston Tim Ruth Andrew Myers …other CE undergrads Michael Manness, Jr. Testing of cold-formed steel beams

  3. Cold-formed steel beamscheng yu • Testing • first tests with definitive separation of modes • upper and lower bound flexural capacities • experimental evidence for new design methods • FE Modeling • parametric studies • moment gradient effect • influence of restraint • Significant design impact Distortional Local

  7. generalized beam theorypuneet bajpai • Unifies the conventional theories • Better understanding of structural principles • Economical method of analysis • Capability to consider individual buckling modes and select combinations of them • Applicable to linear analysis (First-order GBT), linear stability analysis (General second-order GBT), or bifurcation problems Basic equation of second-order theory : where, E = Young’s modulus, G = shear modulus, = generalized deformation in mode k = section properties applicable to mode k, = distributed load applicable to mode k, = three dimensional array of second-order terms, which includes coupling terms
