This paper is concerned with the modelling of geometric imperfections in the finite element analysis of a built-up cold-formed beam assembled with mechanical fasteners. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of contact interactions... Read More about Modelling of geometric imperfections in numerical simulations of built-up cold-formed steel beams..
