Abstract

A recent computational study has found unique zones of stability behaviour in elastic High-strength steel tubes under global bending with different geometrical lengths. A situation under which the most compressed fiber approaches the buckling stress for uniform axial compression is the initial estimation of elastic buckling strength in bending. Cylinders with sufficient length develop a fully developed ovalization of the cross-section and fail by local buckling around the Brazier prediction. Under global bending regimes, typical buckles are fairly modest and extend across a very tiny region, accompanied by global bending extending the crucial value. The situation under which the major compressed fiber approaches the buckling stress for compression bending is the initial estimate of the elastic buckling strength in bending. In this study, the nonlinear behavior of short to long tubes under global bending is studied, with specific and different dimensions, radius-to-thickness ratios, and boundary conditions according to Europe an Standard 1993-1-6. Both the crucial buckling Eigenmode and the geometrically nonlinear elastic analysis are investigated. Because of a buckling stress state dominated by local harmony bending, it is confirmed that the cylinder length takes part in a crucial part in finding this behavior. A failure behavior of this type of material is then going to be investigated.
