By introducing the yield strength ratio λ of strengthened ridgeline to plate and the strengthening coefficient multiplier R, the theoretical prediction expression of maximum bending moment of thin-walled square tube with strengthened ridgelines under static cantilever bending condition is obtained. Then the software of Hypermesh 13. 0 was used to establish two quasi-static finite element simulation comparison models under the corresponding static cantilever conditions. One model was designed for the original material thin-walled square tube, and another one was designed for the thin-walled square tube with strengthened ridgelines. After that, the LS-DYNA 971 solver was introduced to perform the solution calculations. Through a series of simulation calculations and result analysis, the accuracy of the theoretical expression for the maximum bending moment of a thin-walled square tube with strengthened ridgelines was verified.
