This paper presents an experimental investigation of the mechanicalbehavior and buckling failure (viscoplastic behavior) of 304 stainless steeltubes with five different sharp-notched depths (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0mm) subjected to cyclic bending with three different curvature-rates(0.0035, 0.035 and 0.35 m-1s-1). A tube bending machine and curvature-ovalization measurement apparatus were used to control, measure andcollect experimental data. It can be observed from the experiment datathat the 304 stainless steel tube with any notch depth exhibits a cyclichardening phenomenon from the moment and curvature relationship, anda steady-state loop of the moment-curvature curve is found after a fewloading cycles. It can also be observed that the relationship between theovalization and curvature demonstrates a nonsymmetric, ratchetingphenomenon. Higher notch depth leads to further nonsymmetry of thecurve. It can be observed from the experimental curvature-number ofcycles to produce buckling curves that five almost parallel straight linescan be found for five different sharp-notched depths at each curvature-ratein a log-log scale. Finally, by referring to the theoretical formulationsproposed by Shaw and Kyriakides [1], and Pan and Her [2], a theoreticalformulation was proposed to simulate the relationship between the controlledcurvature and the number of cycles to produce buckling for 304stainless steel tubes with different sharp-notched depths at differentcurvature-rates. By comparing theoretical analysis with experimental data,it is shown that the theoretical formulation can properly represent theexperimental results. |
