Over the past several decades, a noticeable amount of research efforts has been directed to
minimising injuries and death to people inside a structure that is subjected to an impact …

This paper presents an overview of energy absorbers in the form of tubes in which the
material used is predominantly mild steel and/or aluminium. A brief summary is also given of …

The current research investigates the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms
of foam-based composites under radial compressive loadings at different temperatures …

The alumina-aluminum matrix syntactic foam filled thin-walled tubes (FFTs) were prepared
by inserting aluminum matrix syntactic foams reinforced with alumina hollow spheres with …

Spent nuclear fuel claddings discharged from water reactors contain hydrogen up to 800
wppm depending on the burn-up and power history. During long-term dry storage, the …

Arrangements of mild steel (DIN 2393) nested tubes were laterally crushed by dynamic
loading. The tests were performed with impact velocities ranging between 3 and 5m/s, using …

This paper investigates the effect of polyurethane foam-filler on the lateral plastic
deformation in the circular tubes under radial quasi-static loading, experimentally. For this …

Dynamic lateral crushing of mild steel (DIN 2393) nested tube systems was conducted using
a ZWICK ROELL impact tester. The tests were performed with impact velocities ranging …

Identification of material properties in the hoop direction, such as stress–strain behavior, is
essential in tube hydroforming processes. Conventional tests such as uniaxial tension and …

The present work examines the structural response of tubular members subjected to lateral
quasi-static loading, imposed by wedge-shaped denting devices, in the presence of internal …
