In order to improve the behavior of double-tube buckling restrained braces (BRBs), it is proposed to set contact rings between inner tube and outer tube of the brace. As a result, they can provide ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...

A new drill pipe buckling model provided excellent predictions for each full-scale buckling test performed, not only in terms of deformed buckling shape but also in terms of weight transfer. Existing ...
