Analytical study is made of an elastic-perfectly plastic bar under repeated axial loading. A previous formulation on a pin-ended bar is extended here to include the effects of load eccentricity and rotational constraint at the bar ends. Basic equations are derived, based on the assumptions of planar and small deflection, and of symmetry with respect to the bar center. The end spring is allowed to yield. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the application of the basic equations, and adequacy is shown for any specified history of axial displacement. Diagrammatical representation of state variation provides a better understanding of the hysteretic behavior as well as the applicability of the basic equations.
