In this paper, elastoplastic post-buckling behavior of cylindrical tubes under axial compression is studied by using finite element method. In particular, the effects of tube geometries and strain hardening characteristics on the high strain concentration in circumferential direction ε
θ which arises at the vertex of outward wrinkles are investigated. It is found that the maximum value of ε
θ is dependent on the thickness-to-radius ratio
t/R, and independent of the length-to-radius ratio
L/R and the nondimensional hardening coefficient
Eh/E. Moreover, based on our results we propose an approximation to evaluate the maximum strain ε
θmax by using the deformed shape of tubes. This approximation can be used to estimate the experimental results of ε
θmax with a good accuracy.
