In this study, the elastoplastic analysis of thin-walled tubes under cyclic bending and internal pressure is presented. A simple method is presented and verified. In order to predict ratcheting or shakedown behavior in the cyclic loading, von-Mises yield criterion as the yield surface and Chaboche’s nonlinear kinematic hardening model are used. The stress–strain variation is obtained with the help of return mapping algorithm. The present solution is in good agreement with experimental results. Shakedown or ratcheting behavior of the tube under various combinations of applied constant internal pressure and cyclic curvature is considered, Bree’s interaction diagram is obtained and the boundary between shakedown and ratcheting zone is determined.
