In this study, the response sharp-notched 316L stainless steel tubessubjected to pure bending creep and relaxation is experimentally andtheoretically studied. Pure bending creep means to bend the specimen toa desired moment and hold that moment for a period of time; pure bendingrelaxation means to bend the specimen to a desired curvature and hold thatcurvature for a period of time. From the experimental result for purebending creep, the curvature and ovalization increase with time until thetube buckles. A higher desired moment leads to higher curvature andovalization. From the experimental result for pure bending relaxation, thebending moment rapidly decreases with time and becomes a steady valueafter all. As for the ovalization, the amount increases with time and graduallybecomes a steady value. Due to the constant ovalization caused bythe constant curvature under pure bending relaxation, the tube does notbuckle. Finally, the formulation proposed Lee and Pan [1] is modified forsimulating the initial and second stages of the creep curvature-time relationshipunder pure bending creep, and relaxation moment-time relationshipunder pure bending relaxation for sharp-notched 316L stainless steeltubes. Through comparing with the experimental finding, the theoreticalanalysis can reasonably describe the experimental result. |
