Performance of tubular members under cyclic axial loads

Conference ·
OSTI ID:264127

In this paper the behavior of pin-ended tubular steel members under cyclic axial loads is studied by using Finite Element Method (FEM) considering both geometrical and material non-linearities. The factors considered in this study are the cyclic loading characteristics (displacement amplitude and mean displacement), geometrical parameters (diameter-to-thickness ratio D/t and normalized slenderness ratio {lambda}) and inelastic characteristics of the material. The results of numerical analysis are closely examined with respect to both ultimate strength and energy dissipation capacity.
