Parameter Estimation for the Jiles-Atherton Model in Weak Fields

The purpose of this article is to estimate the parameters of the Jiles-Atherton hysteresis model, based on minor-loop measurement data in weak applied fields. The well-known hysteresis model by Jiles and Atherton serves as a basis of this article with an extension for the closure of minor loops. In order to represent minor loops correctly, a...

Design recommendations for long span composite slabs with deep profiled steel sheets

As part of the ECSC research project `Steel intensive shallow floor construction', design recommendations for long span composite slabs with deep profiled steel deck have been drafted. These deep profiled steel sheets have depths of at least 200 mm. Test results and design recommendations are presented.
