    Abstract: As a cross section of square steel pipe is crushed, the upper plate and the lower plate deform inward, and the side plates deform outward from the original square cross section shape. When the press folding line process as deformation induction is applied, the upper plate and the lower plate keep flat, and the side plates are compactly folded inwar... Show More
