Stainless steel members under combined torsion and bending KU Leuven
In recent years, the use of stainless steel structural members in a variety of engineering applications has increased, owing to their attractive aesthetic appeal, high strength and durability. In contrast to carbon steel, stainless steel forms an anti-corrosion layer by itself and hence no expensive coatings are needed to prevent corrosion. Therefore, recent studies have shown that the life-cycle cost of stainless steel structures is ...
