As the application of energy-absorption structure reaches an unprecedented scale in both
academia and industry, a reflection upon the state-of-the-art developments in the …

Understanding the mechanical response of structures such as plates and thin-walled
extrusions subjected to cutting and tearing by hardened wedges (blades) is of great interest …

This paper proposes a new type of combined splitting circular tube energy absorber for
subway vehicles. An impact experiment is conducted to investigate the dynamic crushing …

This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations of a new type of combined
energy absorber which working on the principle of expanding and splitting of the circular …

The large deformation characteristics of the surrounding rock of a high-stress mining
roadway were studied during the period of frequent occurrences of micro-seismic events …

This article derives some theoretical relations to predict the instantaneous axial force of the
circular metal tubes during the splitting process under the axial compression by the …

This paper presents an investigation on the energy absorption behavior of shrink circular
tube under quasi-static loading by experimental and numerical methods. The circular tube is …

In this study, the typical modes, hazards, and causes of rebar failure were analyzed under
the condition of large deformation around deep roadways induced by dynamic disasters …

This paper presents an investigation into the energy absorption behaviour of splitting
multiple circular tubes by theoretical, experimental and numerical methods. A theoretical …

Railway vehicles energy absorbers are required to comply with the BS EN 15227. These
standards require the energy absorbers to dissipate the collision energy while preventing …
