Tubular structures are common in vehicles in the form of crash energy absorbers. Inevitably,
these tubes contain holes for assembling fasteners and heating sources. Though the …

Thin-walled cylindrical tubes are usually employed as impact energy absorbing members in
automotive vehicles due to their high energy absorption capacity through progressive plastic …

This research paper deals with crushing and energy absorption characteristics of combined
geometry tubes composed of a cylindrical segment with end plain cap, hemispherical cap …

Long cylindrical tubes exhibit poor energy absorption due to Euler's buckling mode when
they are used as energy-dissipating devices. This paper addresses a new structural design …

Composite tubes are gradually being used in modern automobile structures, for enhancing
structural efficiency and their performance. The energy absorbing ability of composite …

In the recent years there has been tremendous increase in the research activities related to
the energy absorption capacities and crashworthiness of the structures. Generally cylindrical …

Thin-walled tubes are widely used as energy absorbers in automobile vehicles to protect the
occupants during a collision. Unfortunately, too high detrimental initial peak force (IPF) …

The present research work investigates the crashworthiness performance of multi-section
tubes with the square cross section at one end and circle at the other end (MTSC). The …

The use of thin-walled square tubes has got significance in the design of impact energy
absorbers for safety of the occupant because of their better specific energy absorption …

Thin-walled square tubes are used as automotive vehicular crash structures since they can
be easily constrained at the endpoints. These tubes are generally produced by costly …
