- Abstract
The experimental and numerical investigations on buckling behaviors of aluminum alloy components with different irregularly shaped sections were carried out. The buckling load carrying capacity obtained through experiments, numerical simulations, and equations described in the design code were compared. Results obtained through experiments and numerical simulations in good agreement, which shows the validation of the numerical model. And the validated FEM model will be used for parametric analysis of buckling behavior of irregularly shaped aluminum alloy structural component. Equations in the design code do not include effects of the buckling type and need to be improved further.
