Behaviour of structural stainless steel cross-sections under combined loading – Part I: Experimental study (2015, background): “The latest developments to the CSM for stainless steel were presented by Afshan and Gardner [26], where substantially improved predictions of capacity over current design methods were demonstrated.”
The continuous strength method for the design of circular hollow sections (2016, methodology): “The CSM has previously been developed for structural steel [8–10], stainless steel [11] and aluminium [12] plated cross-sections, such as I-sections, square hollow sections (SHS) and rectangular hollow sections (RHS) in compression and bending, and also under combined bending [13].”
Stability and design of stainless steel structures – Review and outlook (2019, methodology): “An alternative to carrying out cross-section checks is to limit the maximum strain that arises in the structure based on the local slenderness of the adopted cross-sections [34,90]; the maximum strain can be determined from the CSM base curve [31, 32].”
Stress-strain curves for hot-rolled steels (2017, methodology): “This model considers strain hardening, is included in Annex C of EN 1993-1-5 [14], and has been used throughout the development of the strain-based continuous strength method (CSM), which allows for the beneficial influence of strain hardening on the design of structural metallic elements, including”
