The purpose of this paper is to use the endochronic theory combinedwith the principle of virtual work to simulate the mechanical behavior (therelationship of bending moment, curvature and ovalization) of two differentcircular tubes, namely a SAE-4130 low-alloy steel tube and a 7075-T6aluminum alloy tube, subjected to cyclic bending. In this study, based onthe uniaxial stress-strain relationship of these two materials (known experimentaldata), the corresponding material constants of the endochronictheory is determined. By substituting the constants into the calculationstructure of the endochronic theory, combined with the principle of virtualwork, the mechanical behavior of circular tubes can be obtained. Next, twotypes of FEM analysis software, ANSYS and ABAQUS are used to simulatethe mechanical behavior of the materials under the same loadingconditions. It is found that the simulation results are very close to thosepredicted by the endochronic method presented in this work. |
