Finite element and experimental analysis for the effect of elliptical chord shape on tubular T-joint strength

The strength of T-tubular joints with elliptical and circular cross-section tube chords with circular cross-section tube braces has been investigated. Experimental tests to determine the joint strength of these T-joints subjected to tension, compression, in-plane bending and out-of-plane bending loa...
