A finite element analysis model for the post-local buckling behaviour of cold-formed steel (CFS) ... more A finite element analysis model for the post-local buckling behaviour of cold-formed steel (CFS) members subjected to axial compression has been developed. The finite element model consists of a Total Lagrangian nonlinear 9-node “assumed strain” shell finite element, and experimental-based material properties models to represent the body of the CFS sections. Experimentally derived residual stress variations, and initial geometric imperfections have also been incorporated. A special loading technique and a displacement solution algorithm were employed to obtain a uniform displacement condition at the loading edges. Details of a test program involving 20 non-perforated, and perforated cold-formed stub-column steel sections have been presented in the second part of the paper. The comparison between the test results, and the finite element results was performed for axial and lateral displacement behaviour, buckling loads, ultimate loads, and axial stress distribution. The comparison forms the basis for the evaluation of the efficiency, and the accuracy of the finite element model, and it indicated that the finite element analysis model constructed herein gives accurate and consistent results for the behaviour of the cold-formed steel members subjected to axial compression.
