ABSTRACT
The performance of buckling load of tubular structures under quasi-static axial loading is quite appreciable, numerous tubes of various cross-section have been extensively investigated and corrugated sections have been designed to further improve the performance. In this paper, a carefully designed set of key performance indicators (KPIs) is utilized to assess and compare the buckling load of circular and corrugated tubes. A series of diagrams related to KPIs with various parameters of tubes are presented to demonstrate the influence of sectional configuration on the performance of tubes as well as the effect of the material on the potential of the same. The work is inestimable to engineering designs and applications, and further studies on the buckling load of other configurations.
