The stiffeners, also known as ribs, are utilized to increase the resistance of T-stubs. The author's previous studies showed that stiffeners can increase plastic capacity by an average of 1.71 times. A combined experimental and numerical study was undertaken to examine the effects of the stiffener configuration on the behavior of T-stubs. A total of 20 stiffened T-stubs where the shape and angle of stiffeners were considered as the main parameters were tested under monotonic loading. Rectangular, triangular and AISC types of stiffener were tested under monotonic loading. The experimental results indicated that when the height of the stiffener is equal to or higher than the length of the stiffener, the shape of the stiffener does not have an influence on the behavior. A numerical study using the finite element tool ABAQUS was carried out in order to further investigate the effects of the stiffener shapes. In this case, the height is considered less than the length of the stiffener. Moreover, the shape of the stiffeners was investigated with the different thicknesses of the stiffener. The simulation findings revealed that when the height of the stiffener is less than the length of the stiffener, the shape of the stiffener significantly affects the plastic capacity. Based on the numerical and experimental results, it is recommended to use the triangular shape of the stiffener when height is equal to or higher than the length of the stiffener while it is recommended to utilize the rectangular shape of the stiffener when height is less than the length of the stiffener.

스킨-보강재 시편 시험을 통해 스킨과 보강재의 분리 파손 특성을 살펴보고 접합방법, 보강재 단면 및 이차 접합 파라미터의 영향을 조사하였다. 본 시험 결과와 이전 시험[1]의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 보강패널의 스킨-보강재 분리 파손 강도를 판단하는 기준으로 스킨-보강재 시편의 파손 변위를 이용하는 것이 타당하며 동일한 접합 방법을 사용할 경우, closed형 보다 open형 보강재를 사용하는 것이 복합재 보강 패널에서 스킨과 보강재의 분리파손을 방지하는데 유리함을 알 수 있었다. 접합방법으로는 이차접합 및 접착제를 사용한 동시성형이 좋은 파손 강도를 보였으며 접착제 없는 동시성형이 가장 나쁜 파손 강도를 나타내었다. 파손 모드는 이차접합 시편은 주로 계면 파손이 발생하였으며 동시성형 시편은 복합재료의 층간분리 파손이 발생하였다. 이차 접합 시편에서는 접착제 두께가 작을수록 높은 파손 강도를 보였다. Fillet은 시편의 강도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 표면 조도의 영향은 open형 및 closed형 시편이 다르게 나타났다.

A general stiffener element which includes transverse shear deformation(TSD) is formulated using the p-version of finite element method. Hierarchic C"-shape functions, derived from Integrals of Legendre polynomials, are used to define the assembled stiffness matrix of the stiffener and plate on the basis of 5 D.0.F displacement fields. The stiffness matrix for the stiffener with respect to the local reference frame is transformed to the plate reference system by applying the appropriate transformation matrices in order to insure compatibility of displacements at the junction of the stiffener and plate. The transformation matrices which account for the orientation and the eccentricity effects of the stiffener with respect to the plate reference axes are used to find local behavior at the junction of the stiffener and the relative contributions of the plate and stiffener to the strength of the composite system. The results obtained by the p-version of the finite element method are compared with the results in literatures, especially those by the h-version software, MICROFEAP-II.P-II.

A steel slit shear wall has vertical slits and when it is under lateral loads, the section between these slits has double-curvature deformation, and by forming a flexural plastic hinge at the end of the slit, it dissipates the energy on the structure. In this article, Experimental, numerical and analytical analyses are performed to study the effect of slit shape and edge stiffener on the behavior of steel slit shear wall. Seismic behavior of three models with different slit shapes and two models with different edge stiffener shapes are studied and compared. Hysteresis curves, energy dissipation, out of plane buckling, initial stiffness and strength are discussed and studied. The proposed slit shape reduces the initial stiffness, increases the strength and energy dissipation. Also, edge stiffener shape increases the initial stiffness significantly.

In this paper, buckling load of edge stiffened composite plates is assessed. The effect of stiffener edge size, circular hole, and the fiber orientation angle on buckling behavior of composite plates under uni-axial compressive load is investigated. This paper includes two parts as experimental and numerical studies. L-shape composite plates are manufactured in three different layups. Then the buckling loads are experimentally determined. Subsequently, by using the numerical simulation, the size variation effects of stiffener edge and circular cutout on the plate buckling loads are analyzed in five different layups. The results show that cutout size, stiffener edge height and fiber orientation angle have important effects on buckling load. In addition, there is an optimum height for stiffener edge during different conditions.

The objective of this research is to study the ultimate moment capacity of the connections between steel I-beams and concrete-filled steel tube columns using different stiffener configurations. The main parameters considered are column cross section shape, square or circular, and filling the column with concrete. This analytical study includes finite element models using ANSYS program taking geometric and material nonlinearities into consideration. These models are verified against the experimental results obtained from previous researches and current design guides. The results show that using proper stiffener configuration affects the stress distribution through the connection and increases the ultimate moment capacity of the connections. Also, circular column is advantageous than the square column for all stiffener configurations and dimensions.

The electron beam welding system has the advantages of the high power density, narrow welding section, and small thermal distortion of a workpiece. Recently, the electron beam welding system is widely used to the airplane engineering, nuclear power plant, and automobile industry. In the present paper, the structural analyses on the vacuum chamber of the electron beam welding system are performed by the F.E.M. analysis. The stiffening characteristics on the geometric shape, stiffener height and stiffener span are investigated. The deflection of the stiffened vacuum chamber under pressure is minimized by longitudinal and transverse stiffeners which are continuous in both direction.

이 논문은 모멘트 저항골조의 접합부에 이용하기 위한 T-스티프너로 보강된 접합부의 내진성능에 관해 나타냈다. 접합부는 보플랜지와 기둥플랜지에 T-스티프너의 수평 및 수직요소가 용접되어 보강되었다. T-스티프너 접합부의 거동을 명확히 파악하기 위해 유한요소해석과 실험이 수행되었다. 유한요소해석결과, T-스티프너의 수평요소의 길이가 길어짐에 따라 T-스티프너는 보플랜지와 수평요소사이의 응력집중을 줄이는데 효과적임을 나타냈다. 또한, 접합부의 이력 거동을 파악하기 위해 실대형 접합부 실험을 실시하였다. 주요 변수는 보에 대한 T-스티프너의 강도비와 수평요소의 형상이다. 수평요소의 길이가 길수록 접합부의 변형능력은 증가하였고, 모든 실험체는 방추형의 안정된 이력거동을 나타내었다.

In piping systems, trapeze hangers are subjected to vertical and horizontal seismic loads and stiffeners are used. In this study, monotonic compression tests were conducted with the removable stiffeners using three variables: stiffener clamp fixing position, section length, and installation direction. The maximum load reinforced with stiffeners could withstand a compressive load of 11kN by applying a safety factor of 10%. It could be estimated that the fixing clamp spacing or the length of shape and load had a proportional relationship. And the stiffener must be fixed in the direction of the strong axis on hinge parts. Also the stiffener buckiling load design proposes to use a method of calculate the flexural buckling compressive strength of and unreinforced full threaded bolt.
