Sentence examples for brace thickness from inspiring English sources
The effect of brace thickness on the characteristic fatigue damage of the selected joints is also analyzed by a sensitivity study.
A series of tests were carried out by using the verified finite element model to measure the SCF of circular chord and square braces K-joints with a reasonable range of three important parameters, i.e. β ratio of brace side length to chord diameter), 2γ ratio of chord diameter to chord thickness), τ ratio of brace thickness to chord thickness).
Test results indicated that the failure modes and the connection efficiency of these joints significantly depended on the brace-to-chord thickness ratio τ and the brace-to-chord diameter ratio β.
Furthermore, a parametric study is performed in order to see the variation of the results for several diameters, thicknesses and brace inclination combinations.
The test parameters included gusset plate thickness, size, and brace angle.
A series of tests were conducted where some key parameters were varied, including loading angle, hollow ratio, chord wall thickness, as well as brace to chord diameter ratio.
