AbstractSearch 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 energy absorption capability. The aim of this work is to investigate the crashworthiness characteristics of new concept is proposed where expanded metal tube is suited into a double-walled tube made of the same material to form one structure. The tube was then numerically tested through a verified model using ABAQUS software. Moreover, the influence of the size of the expanded metal cell was also investigated in the present study. The new concept showed an enhanced energy absorption characteristics related to the change in the mass of the tubular structure. The enhancement was related to both the change in deformation pattern, and the increase in crushed mass.
SponsorThe authors would like to appreciate the efforts of Qatar University in providing all necessary support.
