For better crashworthiness performance, vehicles must protect its occupants by maintaining
structural integrity and converting the large amount of kinetic energy into other forms of …

This work overviews the axial crushing behaviour of tube in absorbing kinetic energy
produced due to impact collision. Key insights on crash mechanics of crumple zone are …

Hybrid tubes of different forms have been designed and used in various sectors such as
automotive, medical, pipeline, and aerospace industries for protective equipment …

Hybrid square tubes made from S2 glass/epoxy composites and 304 stainless steel with
different fiber orientation, stacking sequence, and thickness are tested under quasi-static …

In the present research, the energy absorption and collapse behaviors of composite-coated
corrugation-reinforced cylindrical absorbers were studied. The composite-coating of the …

In this paper, the effects of introducing lateral circular cutouts on crash performances of
tapered thin-walled tubes are explored within a simulation-driven surrogate-based multi …

This paper presents an experimental investigation about the effect of the hole on the
crushing force of thin tubes with the square cross-section under axial impact with a high …

Axial crushing of tubes with multiple patterns of cut-outs is studied using numerical analysis.
Commercially available finite element ABAQUS/Explicit® package is used to simulate the …

In this paper, rectangular and slotted windows were introduced to thin-walled square tubes
to improve the crashworthiness of tubular structures. Four one-windowed tubes, twelve three …

Thin-walled structures usually collapse in Eulerian buckling mode under oblique loads.
Energy absorption capacity and crush force efficiency of the structure in this type of collapse …
