Effect of Wall Thickness Variation on the Energy Absorption Efficiency of Cylindrical Tubes Under Axial Loading
DissertationDOI
Improved simulation techniques for modelling impact and crash behaviour of composite structures
TL;DR: In this paper, a meshless Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used for modeling composite damage phenomena under crash and impact loads, which mainly relied on the reproducibility of the crushing behavior of the metallic structures.

High-velocity impact response of cylindrical tubes with linear gradient grooves: A comparative study
TL;DR: In this article , the crashworthiness of cylindrical tubes with various types of grooves under high-speed impact loads was investigated experimentally and numerically for the first time, and the results showed that the dynamic crush mode of GGTs was axisymmetric, progressive, and sequential.

Theoretical Analysis of Axial Crushing of Cylindrical Tubes with Corrugated Surfaces
Dai-Heng Chen,Shingo Ozaki +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new theoretical model of axial crushing of cylindrical tubes with corrugated surfaces has been developed in which the crushing force is analyzed by considering the equilibrium of work done by the crushing forces and the energy required to deform the tube.

Dynamic axial crushing of square tubes
W. Abramowicz,Norman Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the axial progressive crushing of square box columns using a kinematically admissible method of analysis was investigated and four deformation modes which govern the behaviour for different ranges of the parameter c/h.

Dynamic axial crushing of circular tubes
W. Abramowicz,Norman Jones +1 more
TL;DR: A series of axial crushing tests on steel circular cylindrical shells loaded either statically or dynamically is reported and compared with various theoretical predictions and empirical relations in this article, where a modified version of Alexander's theoretical analysis for axisymmetric, or concertina, deformations gives good agreement with the experimental results when the effective crushing distance is considered and provided that the influence of material strain rate sensitivity is retained in the dynamic crushing case.

The quasi-static crumpling of thin-walled circular cylinders and frusta under axial compression
A.G Mamalis,W Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, thin-walled circular cylinders and truncated circular cones of aluminium alloy were subjected to axial static loading and their initial axial length and the outside diameter of cylinders and frusta were kept constant whilst their wall thickness was varied.

The effective crushing distance in axially compressed thin-walled metal columns
TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified theoretical model of a compressed rigid-linearly strain hardening metal strip is studied and a closed-form solution is derived for the crushing distance of unstiffened as well as transversly stiffened box columns.
