Because of their unique properties such as high strength and stiffness, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and tailoring ability, fiber reinforced polymer beams are increasingly used in various engineering applications. Being a thin-walled member, their design is often governed by buckling. Buckling strength is influenced by various secondary effects (shear lag, moment gradient, rotational restraint, and torsion) induced stresses. In the present study, the influence of torsion on buckling strength is studied by changing the orientation of fiber and web geometry. Initially, the angle of twist (θ) and buckling strength (K) were arrived using the finite element software ANSYS. Later, graphs and bar charts were used to demonstrate the effect of torsion on buckling strength. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
