Abstract: In low cycle fatigue test,metal sheets were prone to buckling instability under tension and compression cyclic loads.In order to prevent the effect of buckling instability on the test results,appropriate antibuckling devices should be adopted during the test.The buckling problems occurred during tension and compression low-cycle fatigue of thin sheets were reviewed.The research progress of anti-buckling devices at home and abroad in recent years was introduced.Some problems of existing anti-buckling devices were analyzed.The future research directions of anti-buckling devices are proposed.
