Abstract
Aiming at investigating the inelastic response of aluminium
beams in bending, a non-linear numerical study is presented
in this paper, by using the implicit FEM code
ABAQUS/Standard. Both buckling strength and rotational
capacity of hollow rectangular cross-sections are analysed.
The results obtained, which are referred to different material
characteristics, mainly show the important role of the strain
hardening, demanding for the improvement of present
guidelines given by European codes on aluminium structures.
Moreover, some useful indications are provided concerning
the possible reduction of rotational capacity owing to
premature tensile failure, which is related to the limited
material ductility.
