Detailed Study on the Behavior of Improved Beam T-Junctions Modeling for the Characterization of Tubular Structures, Based on Artificial Neural Networks Trained with Finite Element Models

The actual behavior of welded T-junctions in tubular structures depends strongly on the topology of the junction at the joint level. In finite element analysis, beam-type elements are usually employed due to their simplicity and low computational cost, even though they cannot reproduce the joints to...
