The present work examines the structural response of tubular members subjected to lateral quasi-static loading, imposed by wedge-shaped denting devices, in the presence of internal pressure. First, tubes are modeled with shell finite elements, accounting for geometric and material nonlinearities, and the numerical results are in good agreement with available denting test data from internally pressurized...
