Abstract
In this paper, the endochronic theory combined with the principle of virtual work and finite element analysis softwares, ANSYS and ABAQUS, are used for simulating the moment-curvature and ovalization-curvature relationships of circular tubes subjected cyclic bending. Two different sizes of the 316L stainless steel circular tubes subjected to cyclic bending are tested in this study. When compared with experimental data, it is shown that three methods lead to good simulation of the moment-curvature relationship. However, the endochronic theory combined with the principle of virtual work has the closer simulation of the ovalization-curvature response with the experimental data than the simulations by finite element analysis softwares, ANSYS and ABAQUS.
