Abstract
"EFFECT OF CORROSION AND FATIGUE DAMAGE ON THE ELASTIC BUCKLING AND ULTIMATE LOAD CAPACITY OF GABLE FRAMES: A FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS STUDY"
*Dr. Majdi Elgaili Mukhtar Ahmed Ahmed and Eng. Majzoob Mohammed Arbab Ali
ABSTRACT
The study aimed to investigate the effect of corrosion and fatigue damage on the elastic buckling and ultimate load capacity of gable frames using analytical methods. The research was based on Finite element analysis (FEA) which was used to simulate the elastic buckling behavior of gable frames under various loading conditions and boundary conditions. The study found that the presence of imperfections and damage can significantly reduce the elastic buckling and ultimate load capacity of gable frames. The results of this study are in agreement with previous research, which has also shown that the presence of imperfections and damage can significantly reduce the elastic buckling and ultimate load capacity of gable frames. The study also indicated that the use of corrosion-resistant materials and the implementation of regular inspection and maintenance programs can help to prolong the service life of gable frames and reduce the risk of failure due to elastic buckling and ultimate load. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of taking the presence of imperfections and damage into account in the design and analysis of gable frames. The results of this study have important implications for the design and analysis of gable frames and suggest that future research is needed to Investigate the use of advanced materials and coatings to improve the corrosion resistance of gable frames and reduce the risk of failure due to corrosion and fatigue damage.
