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 ...
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 ...
Experimental investigation of the crashworthiness performance of fiber and fiber steel-reinforced composites tubes
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Crashworthiness plays a key role in energy absorption and hence in vehicle accidents. The energy absorption capacity of laminated composite materials is heavily investigated in the industry due to their low cost, corrosion ...
