Experimental investigations were pedermed on the plastic deformation along bilinear strain paths with various values of corner-angle by subjecting thin-walled tubular specimens of type 302 stainless steel to combined axial and torsional loads. Variations of scalar and vectorial behavior of the stress response are discnssed in the vector space of plastic strain. It is found that the intrinsic geometry of loading path, the plastic strain history and the coapled effect among strain components effect effectively the stress response of the material. The experimental results also show that these effects will disappear gradually with increasing strain.
