Journal ArticleDOI
Inextensional collapse of thin-walled tubes under axial compression:
TL;DR: In this paper, a new mechanism is proposed by which collapse proceeds progressively from one end of the tube, following the passage of a travelling hinge, and simple expressions are developed for mean collapse load and the energy absorbed during collapse of rigid-perfectly plastic tubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The buckling of annular plates in relation to the deep-drawing process
Tongxi Yu,Wendy Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the critical conditions for the elastic buckling and the plastic buckling of the flange of a circular blank during the deep drawing process were obtained to improve upon previously given results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensible plastic collapse of thin-wall frusta as energy absorbers
TL;DR: In this paper, the crumpling of thin-walled frusta, under axial compression, in the ‘concertina’ mode is studied, where the energy expended in bending at the plastic hinges and in stretching the metal between the hinges is minimized for the total decrease in height due to collapse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long stroke energy dissipation in splitting tubes
TL;DR: In this paper, a passive crashworthy system that dissipates impact energy by fracture and plastic deformation of metal tubes is analyzed, where the energy dissipating component is a square tube that is pressed axially against a die where it splits at the corners and curls outward.
Journal ArticleDOI
The crumpling of steel thin-walled tubes and frusta under axial compression at elevated strain-rates: Some experimental results
TL;DR: In this article, the axial load-deformation or compression behaviour of cylinders and frusta for the two semi-apical angles used, 5° and 10°, were recorded and the modes of collapse were observed and discussed.
