Elastic Buckling Prediction
• Numerical Methods– finite element, finite strip (www.ce.jhu.edu/bschafer)
• Hand Methods (for use in a traditional Specification)– Local Buckling
• Element methods, e.g. k=4• Semi-empirical methods that include element interaction
– Distortional Buckling• Proposed (Schafer) method, rotational stiffness at web/flange juncture• Hancock’s method• AISI (k for Edge Stiffened Elements per Spec. section B4.2)

Ultimate Strength
• Numerical Studies (nonlinear FEA)– Analysis of isolated flanges– Parametric studies on lipped channels
• Existing Experimental Data(pin ended, concentrically loaded columns)– 100+ tests on lipped channels– 80+ tests on lipped zees– 40 tests on rack columns (variety of stiffeners)
![Page 7: Thin-Walled Column Design Considering Local, Distortional and Euler Buckling Ben Schafer Asst. Professor Johns Hopkins University](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082712/56649e855503460f94b87696/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Numerical Studies on Ultimate Strength
• Primarily focused on differences in the behavior and in the failure mechanisms associated with local and distortional buckling.
• Key findings in this area:– distortional buckling may control the failure mechanism even
when the elastic distortional buckling stress (fcrd) is higher than the elastic local buckling stress (fcrl)
– distortional failures have lower post-buckling capacity and higher imperfection sensitivity than local failures

Conclusions
• Must consider local, distortional, and Euler modes, but closed-form and numerical methods are accurate and available
• Current effective width based design methods ignore local web/flange interaction and distortional buckling, leading to systematic error and inflexibility in dealing with new shapes
• A direct strength method using separate column curves for local and distortional buckling:– provides a consistent and accurate treatment of the relevant buckling modes– avoids lengthy effective width calculations– demonstrates the effectiveness of directly using numerical elastic buckling solutions– opens the door to rational analysis methods– provides greater potential innovation in cold-formed shapes
