ABSTRACT
A total of 42 tensile tests have been conducted in order to determine the main material parameters of the studied stainless steel grades. The average material parameters are gathered in Table 1.
4 ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
The accuracy of the expressions presented before for the determination of the material parameters is checked herein. The optimized nonlinear parameters providing the best curve fitting between the experimental curve and the analytical model proposed in EN 1993-1-4 were obtained from a least square adjustment and are shown in Table 2.
