Prediction of the Bending Strength of Boltless Steel Connections in Storage Pallet Racks: An Integrated Experimental-FEM-SVM Methodology by Zhi-Jun Lyu, PeiCai Zhao, Qi Lu, Qian Xiang, HongLiang Li

“…Due to many differences in the material, geometry, and assembly method of the commercially available beam-end-connectors in steel storage pallet racks (SPR), no common numerical model has been universally accepted to accurately predict the M–θ behavior of complex semirigid connections so far. Despite the fact that the finite element method (FEM) and physical experiment have been used to obtain the mechanical performance of beam-to-column connections (BCCs), those methods have the disadvantages of high computational complexity and test cost. …”
