Energy absorption capabilities of complex thin walled structures
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Thin walled structures have been used in the area of energy absorption during an event of a crash. A lot of work has been done on tubular structures. Due to limitation of manufacturing process, complex geometries were ...
Experimental analysis of additively manufactured thin-walled heat-treated circular tubes with slits using AlSi10Mg alloy by quasi-static axial crushing test
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, additively manufactured aluminum thin-walled tubes with different slit dimensions are proposed to improve energy absorption efficiency. A total of 18 samples, which varied in the number of slits, slit length, ...
Design of thin wall structures for energy absorption applications: Enhancement of crashworthiness due to axial and oblique impact forces
(2013 , Article)
This paper describes a computationally aided design process of a thin wall structure subject to dynamic compression in both axial and oblique directions. Several different cross sectional shapes of thin walled structures ...
New vehicle bumper design for pedestrian protection during impact
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This study discusses the influence of the active bumper design on the performance of the selected current bumper in terms of pedestrian protection by using finite element method. The legform impactor is used to test the ...
Numerical simulation of a novel expanded metal tubular structure for crashworthiness application
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Search for new geometries and materials that would serve in crashworthiness applications is a cumulative process. Recent studies investigated the performance of expanded metal tubes and the possible ways to enhance its ...
