A numerical solution for analysis of the bulging process of a thin-walled tube under internal pressure and axial force is proposed. The solution is applied to a case in which the longitudinal stress resulted from internal pressure and external compressive load is tensile along the whole length of the bulged tube. To verify whether the solution is applicable, theoretical and experimental results on the bulging of copper tubes have been obtained and are compared in this paper.

An analytical expression is derived for the prediction of fully plastic moment capacity of pipes subjected to axial loading and internal pressure. The expression is based on the von Mises yield criterion. The expression predicts pipe moment capacities that are in good agreement with full-scale experimental results. A universal nondimensional moment versus effective axial force-pressure interaction diagram is developed for the design of elevated pipe lines.

Ratcheting and fatigue damage of thin-walled tube under cyclic bending and steady internal pressure is studied. Chaboche's nonlinear kinematic hardening model extended by considering the effect of continuum damage mechanics employed to predict ratcheting. Lemaitre damage model [Lemaitre, J. and Desmorat, R. [2005] Engineering Damage Mechanics (Springer-Verlag, Berlin)] which is appropriate for low cyclic loading is used. Also the evolution features of whole-life ratcheting behavior and low cycle fatigue (LCF) damage of the tube are discussed. A simplified method related to the thin-walled tube under bending and internal pressure is used and compared well with experimental results. Bree's interaction diagram with boundaries between shakedown and ratcheting zone is determined. Whole-life ratcheting of thin-walled tube reduces obviously with increase of internal pressure.


The response of an isotropic, nonlinear viscoelastic, thin-walled tube to combinations of axial force F , axial couple G and pressure difference p is considered theoretically and experimentally. Theory is based on the membrane theory of thin shells, applied to a thin-walled circular cylindrical tube. The components of two dimensional stress and strain in the wall of the tube are derived, allowing for arbitrarily large deformations; but restriction to small deformations is shown to be necessary if the history of stress is to be controlled at will through F , G and p . For arbitrary choice of F , G and p as functions of time the strain is shown to depend on three stress tensors P , Q , R independent of time, and three scalar functions of time. An expression for the linear strain tensor in terms of P , Q , R is obtained which involves four scalar functions ϕ 0 , ϕ 1 , ϕ 2 , ϕ 3 . These functions depend on the invariants of P , Q , R and on the three scalar functions of time. If any one of P , G , p is always zero then R = 0 and only ϕ 0 , ϕ 1 , ϕ 2 are required. In the case of proportional loading ( Q = R = 0 ) only ϕ 0 and ϕ 1 are required and any one of the three strain components can be calculated from the remaining two. Creep and recovery experiments under simultaneous axial force and couple were conducted on a thin-walled tube of polypropylene at 65.5 °C. Theory was used to calculate the circumferential tensile strain from the measured shear strain and longitudinal tensile strain. For this particular tube ϕ 0 and ϕ 1 were found to be related in a special manner, implying that nonlinearity can be adcquatcly described by allowing the shear creep compliance to change with stress history. By varying separately combinations of the invariants of P , ϕ 1 was found to depend on both hydrostatic and deviatoric components ofthe applied stress.

The crushing behaviour of hexagonal thin-walled tube with partition plates subjected to axial compression is studied by using finite element method. It is found that, in the crushing process, the folds, which generate along the full length of the tube, come to be crushed simultaneously and the compressive load will not descend, since the compressive load produced in the central part does not descend with the folds forming on outer walls. Therefore, in order to suppress a fluctuation of the compression load in crushing of the tube and to raise its average compression load, it is an effective method to introduce corner parts, especially corner parts where three plates intersect, in the geometry of the thin-walled tube.
