Research Centre of Metal Structures Established 2004 Staff: about 10 www.metallirakentaminen.

9 Research Centre of Metal Structures Established 2004 Staff: about 10 On going projects 3 industrial projects RFCS project RUOSTE, final report up to March 2016 National FIMECC/MANU/DIGIMAP project (Industry + Tekes) National TUTL project Sorvi (Tekes). New business from optimization Own basic studies 9

10 FIMECC/MANU/DIGIMAP FIMECC= Finnish Metals and Engineering Competence Cluster Our scope: Optimization platform for HSS structures 2 PhD theses going on: Teemu & Pekka Industrial application: Design Tool for Ruukki Co-operation with Ruukki, Oulu University, HAMK, St Petersburgh and KU Leuven Integration of design and fabrication, feature based cost models, automatization et al First structures including S500 & S700 steel have been delivered to sites! 10

3D component method in normal and fire conditions Two PhD theses near final, Henri & Hilkka One PhD thesis just started, Jolanta One PhD thesis going on, Juha Aluminium joints, Jari Henri: End plate

11 3D component method in normal and fire conditions Two PhD theses near final, Henri & Hilkka One PhD thesis just started, Jolanta One PhD thesis going on, Juha Aluminium joints, Jari Henri: End plate joint in biaxial bending in normal conditions Hilkka: End plate joint in biaxial bending in fire conditions Experiments, theory: FEM + component method Jolanta: Tubular joints in fire Experiments, theory: FEM + component method Juha: Torsion in component method Experiments, theory: FEM + component method Universal joint, End plate joint 11

12 Moment-rotation relationship of welded tubular HSS joints Co-operation with Hämeenlinna: Tavastia, HAMK, PhD thesis Jarmo Co-operation with Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, PhD thesis Marsel Research questions: Effect of weld size to stiffness and resistance of joints HSS joints, welds Different welding technologies (manual, robot) Welding durations, measured, theory Effect of axial load (of chord or column) to stiffness and resistance of joints 12

13 Moment-rotation relationship of welded tubular HSS joints Results so far: A lot of FEM simulations Effect to buckling Surrogate models => next step optimization Tests in HAMK welding in Tavastia => Interesting new way in co-operation at three levels! 13
