Local buckling of cold-formed steel trapezoidal sheets: Data for finite element model validation.

Data is provided from a validation example for a finite element model of a cold-formed steel trapezoidal sheet. The sheet is subjected to bending, failing due to local buckling. The numerical model and the validation procedure are carried out according to the new Eurocode 3 prEN1993-1-14 Design assisted by finite element analysis.

Cold and ambient deck storage prior to processing as a critical control point for patulin accumulation.

Patulin, a mycotoxin produced primarily by Penicillium expansum, is currently of great concern because of its undesirable effects in human health. It has been proven that patulin can damage organs and tissues in animals and some studies revealed carcinogenic and teratogenic effects. Patulin is found mainly in low quality apples diverted to production of apple by-products.
