Abstract

A parameter study is carried out to investigate the influence of various factors. The axial force, the width of the stiffening ring, the height of the ring, the diameter of the tube, the wall thickness, the length and the thickness of the joint are considered. At present, the ultimate bearing capacity formulas of the gusset-tube joints established by various countries are based on the failure mode of over plastic deformation in the compression region of the main tube wall. The analysis of the parameters of this kind of joints shows that the specimens failed due to excessive plastic deformation in the tension region are of 34.34% of the 81 FE specimens.
