Multi-cell thin-walled structures have proven fairly effective in energy absorption and have
been extensively used in vehicle engineering. However, the effects of multi-cell …

This paper aims to develop a new crash box with improved crashworthiness at reduced cost
and weight as a base design for use in the automotive industry. Firstly, a baseline crash box …

This paper treats the influence of auxetic foam on the crush response and energy absorption
response of square-section tubes when subjected to uniaxial quasi-static loading. The study …

The crashworthiness and deformation behavior of circular composite tubes that were
internally supported with expanded polypropylene (EPP) foams were investigated under …

In this study, the impact behavior of sandwich panels of natural rubber-based syntactic foam
cores with aluminum face sheets was investigated experimentally and with the help of finite …

This study experimentally investigated the energy-absorbing capability of foam-filled 6063-
T5 aluminum tubes. Thus, different sample combinations were created with two different …

The axial crushing behavior and energy absorption ability of metallic tubes are areas in
which a large number of academic studies have been undertaken. In this study, the basic …

In this study, the plastic deformation mechanism of a fully clamped beam under oblique
loading at its free end is analyzed. Supposing the cross sections are variable along the …

Despite the seemingly daily development of high-strength new generation steel sheets, steel
sheets still remain the most important engineering material used in a vehicle body. These …
