The need for energy-absorbing devices with adaptable crashworthiness is increasingly
urgent in various engineering fields with diverse load environments. For this aim, bamboo …

The self-locked energy absorption system has been recently proposed to prevent the lateral
splashing of thin-walled tubes under impact loadings without any constraints, which breaks …

This article presents a new method called the artificial neural networks-genetic programming
(ANNs-GP) algorithm, which effectively predicts the bending behavior of functionally graded …

The main goal of this paper is to analyze the nonlinear transient of FGSS shells subjected to
blast loading in a thermal environment using the MITC4 based on FSDT. The MITC4 …

In this paper, the buckling and post-buckling of steel thin-walled semi-spherical shells are
investigated under different loadings, both experimentally and numerically. Various vertical …

A well understanding of instability mechanics of soft shell structures is key issue due to its
important implications in functional shape morphing, flexible electronics, soft robotics …

We report on the dynamical buckling of a spherical shell (a table-tennis ball) impinging in
normal incidence on a rigid surface (a glass plate). Experimentally, we observe and …

To improve the trafficability and reliability of the pipeline intelligent plugging robot (PIPR) in
the elbow section, an over-line and universal shaft connector (OUSC) with a hollow double …

The quasi-static and dynamic crushing response and the energy absorption characteristics
of combined geometry shells composed of a hemispherical cap and a cylindrical segment …

Auxeticity of materials improves several of their mechanical properties, especially shear,
impact, and bending resistance. It also improves ability of materials to absorb impact energy …
