Orthotropic plate buckling method for the design of stainless steel structures manufactured by wire-arc directed energy deposition

Wire-arc directed energy deposition (DED-Arc) offers significant advantages for manufacturing stainless steel plates, but the inherent material anisotropy of DED-Arc stainless steel challenges the isotropic assumptions underlying current design standards (e.g., AISC 360, EN 1993-...
