Objective

The production of formed hot and cold rolled sheet steel structures is challenged due to lack of knowledge about material behaviour in the formed condition. Within this project the structural durability of formed hot and cold rolled sheet steel structures will be investigated for a selection of high strength steels, to demonstrate the potential of these materials for lightweight design and leading to service improvements. The results of this project will provide dimensioning methods with strength data and guidelines for high strength formed sheet steel structures.
