Analysis of stress and deformation fields of shape complex beams

摘要

In this paper is investigated the analysis of stress and deformation fields of shape complex beams. The shape complex beams are made from load-bearing sheet (trapezoidal sheet) circumferentially connected with strips of sheet metal, these beams are a substitute for more complex and heavier beams. The numerical analysis with static load are performed for these beams. The effect of three different types of connections between load-bearing sheet and strips of sheet metal is investigated. The first type of connection is represented by the trapezoidal sheet perfectly welded to the strips of sheet metal, the second type of connection is represented by the trapezoidal sheet welded to the strips of sheet metal only on the base sides of the trapezoidal sheet. The third one is represented by point welds. The stress and deformation fields for all types of the connections are compared and the suitable variant is chosen.
