Abstract

Numerical analysis of the local buckling behaviour and ultimate cross-sectional strength of tubular elliptical profiles in compression has been performed. After validating the model against previous experimental results, a parametric study comprising a total of 270 elliptical sections was conducted in order to examine the influence of cross-section aspect ratio, geometric imperfections and local slendernesses. The obtained ultimate capacities, load–deformation responses and failure modes are discussed. It was found that for lower cross-section aspect ratios the behaviour of The Elliptical Hollow Sections (EHS) was similar to that of cylindrical shells across a number of metrics; as the aspect ratio increased, more plate-like stable postbuckling behaviour was observed. A design method has been proposed for Class 4 EHS members that reflects the reduction in capacity due to local buckling with increasing slenderness, but also recognises the improved postbuckling stability with increasing aspect ratio.
