Abstract
The paper reports a series of experimental and numerical data of destructive stub column tests on additively manufactured steel parts stiffened by surface sinusoidal wave patterns. The specimens were made in 316L stainless steel and manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM). The experimental tests covered five tensile coupon tests, fourteen square hollow section (SHS) stub column tests and measurements of geometric imperfections of the stub columns. Numerical models incorporating the measured material and geometric properties were developed and analysed via GMNIA approach. The validity of the numerical models is demonstrated by their accurate replications of the load-end shortening responses of the tested specimens. The reported dataset will contribute to the stability design and characterisation of thin-walled steel plated structures with advanced stiffening patterns.
