Variable section portal frame is increasingly concerned and is widely used for its economy, beauty and short construction period, compared with other traditional structures. In-plane stability response of variable section columns of portal frames is the focus of this paper. Results are presented for parameters influence of variable section column on the in-plane stability bearing capacity with finite element analysis. References are proposed for practical application compared with computational formulas of Technical Specification for Steel Structure of Light-Weight Buildings with Gabled Frames.


Because of environmental issues, the regulations on gas emission from fossil fuels become stricter. Some investigations are being carried out actively to change the fossil fuel power into electrical power. Researches on the reduction of weight in the transportation machine is also executed. Weight reduction is one of the methods of reducing the gas emission and increasing the range of electrically powered machines. The method of weight reduction includes the development of light weight material and light weight structure design method. FRP is the most representative light weight material. Among various FRP materials, (CFRP) has the highest specific strength. Light weight structure design method includes the method of designing the structure by converting the bonding method with bolts and rivets to adhesion method with the use of adhesives. In order to pursue the research on the adhesive structure design method, the research on adhesion exfoliation by using CZM needs to be carried out. There are the researches with various methods in accordance with the style of adhesion exfoliation load and material designs. In this study, the adhesion exfoliation on the tearing fracture of tapered double cantilever beam configuration was applied to the research. Research model was composed by applying the gradient angles of 6° and 8° to TDCB. The model with the gradient angle of 8° has less fracture due to adhesion than that of 8°. The basic data on structural design of adhesion structure were provided by comparatively analyzing the research models. This research was carried out by using finite element analysis method in this study. Finite element analysis method has the advantage of reducing the cost and time taken for experiments in researches. Therefore, the finite element analysis program, ANSYS, was used in this study.

Hydroforming is one of the forming technique which paves the way for the easy production of light weight and high strength automotive and aerospace components. The different approaches presented by the various authors in the field of hydroforming and its applications are reviewed in this paper. The authors have used Finite Element Analysis using different simulation tools like Abaqus, Ansys, LS-Dyna and Autoform 3D that help to minimize the failure cost of materials and dies. This paper deals with those disparate approaches, discussing exhaustively the process and application of hydroforming, providing sufficient data to make readers identify the burgeoning areas of research.

In order to get the deployable antenna with light weight but large size and high stiffness, this study investigated SMPC self-deployable driver mechanism based on the deformation mechanism of SMPC, and designed the SMPC space deployable antenna. The laminated shell structure with two pieces of back-to-back configuration was analyzed. Finite element analysis revealed that the reasonable central angle of the laminated shell cross-section was 90°. The ends fixing structure of the SMPC hinge was given. The function and structure of the hoop truss deployable antenna were designed to meet the functional and accuracy requirements.
