Failure of laterally crushed aluminum tubes under combined bending and tension

This thesis is concerned with the accurate numerical simulation of localized deformation that can develop into necking and failure, induced by combined bending and tension in aluminum alloy shell structures. The study is motivated by the need to establish the onset and evolution of such failures in...
