This work investigates the response of relatively thick inelastic tubes under combined external pressure, bending and tension. A nonlinear finite element analysis technique is adopted. Results are presented in the form of pressure-bending, pressure-tension and tension-bending diagrams and are of direct significance in the design of deep-water pipelines.
