stiffener

The LPI acts as a stiffener, so it also must be at least 0.5mm from the bend area.

The specimens with "MS" in their designations had a midspan stiffener installed, as shown in Figure 8(b).

Behavior of RBS Beam without Stiffener, Vertical Stiffener, and Horizontal Stiffeners.

Its geometrical parameters are thickness of top and bottom plates [h.sub.1] and [h.sub.2], depth of orthogonal rib-stiffeners d, and thickness of x- and y-wise stiffeners [t.sub.x] and [t.sub.y], respectively.

Under investigation of effect of stiffener it is necessary to get response at three questions: how to install stiffener--vertically or inclined; what are to be dimensions of stiffener; what is the critical rigidity of stiffener?

[3] conducted some experiments and numerical analyses on shear walls with thin plates having stiffeners. Based on their research, shear wall without stiffener has S-shaped cycle diagram, but when stiffener is added to the wall, cycle diagram gets thick i.e.

It has the world's first ultrahigh strength steel, one-piece stiffener ring.

Features include solid steel legs with stiffener bars for extra strength and support, pre-wired NEMA-rated controls, and moving parts with high-strength roller pins, snap rings and hardened cam followers.

The steel wall, steel bar stiffener and concrete are the materials used in the numerical analysis of this study.

Alongside the expansion, Trelleborg states it will also upgrade its existing equipment to include new advanced polyurethane dispensing equipment and an upgrade of its current syntactic and static bending stiffener plant.
