Simulating the Mechanical and Structural Properties of UltraSTEEL~(TM) Dimpled Sheet

摘要

The novel surface dimpling UltraSTEEL~(TM) process developed by Hadley Industries increases the strength of the final rolled products and enhances other product properties such as the load carrying capacity. The dimpled UltraSTEEL~(TM) sheet is used in steel framing, ceilings and other structural components. The mechanical properties and structural behaviour of the dimpled sheet are different from plain sheet due to non-uniformly distributed plastic strain and geometry of the dimples.
