I-Beam
|
Plate/shell model of an I-beam. One symmetric half has been modelled. The plate elements are rendered as solids to clearly present the relative thickness of flange and web. |
|
The first buckling mode for the beam is a local flange and web mode. |
|
The linear stress distribution, due to a concentrated force, just before the beam yields. |
|
The section is now extensively yielded. |
|
Upon unloading, residual stresses remain in the beam. |
