Analysis of the bending operation of cold-formed steel built-up complex hat section.

Cold-formed steel product sections are abundantly utilized in the metal buildings, constructions and Industries for more than four decades. These products are found more in general in every form of working environment due to their flexibility, availability, market value, increased weight and strength ratio, easy fabrication and so on. The highly notable application is that these steel sections are obtainable in varied shapes that we can avail predominantly according to the need. The finite element method is specifically technique of numerical analysis to pertain mere elucidations to massive range of engineering crisis. This paper depicts an analysis by numerical method with bending operation of cold-formed steel built-up sections. The results obtained through the experiment are conformed through finite element analysis with ANSYS R2 Software and Manual designs. The investigational results procured are better submission to the analytical outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
