Energy absorption capability of thin-walled aluminium tubes under crash loading
(
Universiti Malaysia Pahang
, 2015 , Article)
This paper investigates the interaction of design factors such as tube thickness, tube length, and tube cross-sectional aspect ratio, along with friction and impacting mass on crashworthiness parameters such as specific ...
The effect of fiber orientation on the energy absorption capability of axially crushed composite tubes
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Technical Report)
An experimental investigation to optimize the absorbed energy of axially crushed composite collapsible tubular energy absorber devices was carried out. Different fiber orientation were used in this study (0/90, 15/−75, ...
Design of thin wall structures for energy absorption applications: Enhancement of crashworthiness due to axial and oblique impact forces
(2013 , Article)
This paper describes a computationally aided design process of a thin wall structure subject to dynamic compression in both axial and oblique directions. Several different cross sectional shapes of thin walled structures ...
