To address the limitation of inflexible dimension parameters in thin-walled structures for
ensuring energy absorption effectiveness, a design approach for a multi-tube combination of …

A novel design and method of manufacture of laterally corrugated composite tube is
proposed. One of the main issues with studying such corrugated composite tubes has been …

This paper presents the quasi-static free inversion behavior of a new conical tube absorber.
The absorber is composed of a multi-component conical tube with a spherical end cap and …

This study investigates the energy-absorbing capability of the circular cross-section carbon
fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and Aluminum/CFRP (Al/CFRP) composite tubular …

Improving the crashworthiness performance of the energy absorber and reducing the
intensity of the load on the main structure using plastic deformation at the end of the vehicle …

This study presents a focused experimental exploration into the energy absorption
characteristics and failure mechanisms of nested circular rings under lateral loading. The …

In this article, a new model of a conical absorber with an inversion mechanism in form of a
telescope is introduced. The purpose of this article is to decrease the initial peak load and …

A new syntactic foam material was prepared by screening three different average particle
sizes of cenospheres (150, 200, and 300 µm) from industrial waste fly ash. Axial impact …

Among the energy absorbers, thin-walled tubes can play an essential role in reducing the
load on the main structure and protecting the occupants. Therefore, in this article an attempt …

Recently, versatile tubes with different cross-sectional cores have been suggested to reduce
impact failures of protective structures. One method for improving cylindrical tube bending …
