The Deformation Process of Thin-Walled Box Beams Joined by Rivets under Three-Point Bending

Abstract:

This paper is focused on description of the mechanical response of the aluminum box-beams subjected to 3 point bending (3-PB). The main aim of this paper is to determine the effect of spacing between rivets on the equivalent stiffness and strength of the analised profile. The considered beams are composed of two sections: one of them is an aluminum omega profile and another is a composite flat sheet. Experimental tests were carried out for various spacing between rivets. Moreover, the corresponding numerical analyses by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with application of the Abaqus software were done for estimate of the mechanical response of the box beams. The results show relationship between spacing of the rivets and values of carrying forces.
