Stability of cylindrical steel panels under compression
type: Dataset
description: The use of curved panels for the construction of steel bridges becomes more and more popular. Their design is however made difficult by a lack of specifications, especially in European Standards. The present study aims thus at developing a method for predicting the ultimate strength of cylindrical unstiffened curved panels subjected to uniform axial compression. The methodology used in this study is based on the formal procedure recommended by Eurocode 3 for all types of stability verifications. A series of numerical simulations is first carried out to identify the fundamental characteristics of curved panels' elasto-plastic behaviour. Then on the basis of these numerical results, semi-empirical formulae for predicting the elastic buckling and ultimate strength are derived and illustrated on a practical example.
