Abstract
The finite strip and finite layer methods are powerful tools for the analysis of thin-walled structures. In this paper, the finite strip method is applied to study the behavior of cold-formed steel beams including webs with longitudinal stiffeners. Comparisons are made with AISI specifications and published data. The finite layer method is used to investigate the buckling behavior of sandwich panels with thin facings and rigid foam cores. Effects of variable core stiffnesses (due to uneven curing, etc.) on the buckling strength are quantified and presented.
