Abstract
In this paper, elastoplastic crushing behavior of circular tubes under axial compressive loading is studied by using nonlinear finite element analysis software MSC.Marc. In particular, effects of strain hardening on the average crushing load Pave in axial collapse are investigated. It is found that the average load Pave depends on the scale of strain-hardening, and the theoretical result of Pave for rigid perfectly plastic material cannot be used to evaluate the load Pave with strain-hardening material. So in order to take into consideration the strain hardening effect on the average load Pave, we propose an energy equivalent flow stress σflow defined by the value of average effective plastic strain ε̄ p.eq which arises in one folded wrinkle, and evaluate the average load Pave by using σflow instead of yield stress σy. This approximate evaluation agrees well with the experimental result.
