Cold-rolled Aluminium Structural Members and Systems

BlueScope Permalite最近已经证明，可以通过滚动成形生产铝结构型材。这是一种比传统挤压更快、能耗更低的生产方法。通过实验和数值模拟，该项目旨在为冷轧铝的单个成员和完整结构系统的设计制定指导方针。考虑到C型和z型型材普遍存在的屈曲模式、它们之间的相互作用以及逐渐屈服的影响，该项目打算量化冷轧过程所能实现的强度增强，并制定确定冷轧铝型材和系统强度的指导方针。

BlueScope Permalite has recently demonstrated that it is possible to produce aluminium structural sections by roll-forming. This presents a faster and less energy consuming method of production than conventional extrusion. Through experiments and numerical simulations, the project aims to develop guidelines for the design of single members and complete structural systems in cold-rolled aluminium. The project intends to quantify the strength enhancements achievable by the cold-rolling process and devise guidelines for determining the strength of cold-rolled aluminium sections and systems, considering the prevalent buckling modes for C- and Z-sections, their interactions and the effect of gradual yielding.
