Many studies have focused on the topic of vehicle safety, including the study on
crashworthiness. In vehicle, a crash box structure is an integral component for ensuring the …

The goal of this work is to experimentally explore the crashworthiness performance and the
deformation history of hybrid thin‐walled composite tubes. Glass (G)/carbon (C) reinforced …

It is advised to add cuts as circular holes to constructions' walls for technical requirements
such as the assembly and to reduce the weight. Since these induced cutouts have a …

This paper investigates the crashworthiness performance of square pipes with induced
holes. Glass reinforced epoxy (GFRP) specimens were fabricated and tested under quasi …

The crashworthy ability of glass/epoxy (GFRP) square tubes with induced holes was studied
under quasi‐static axial crashing. Four design parameters were chosen, each at three …

The global bending deformation hinders the development of the thin-walled structure as an
energy absorber. Therefore, a design strategy based on the origami-inspired metamaterial …

A structure of circular tubes subjected to radial extrusion with variable geometrical
configurations was analysed. In a quasi-static experiment, axial grooves were produced on …

Structural members termed frusta (conical shells or tapered prismatic tubes) are used as
energy absorbers due to the stable plastic behavior during axial crushing process and to the …

This paper proposes a new type of combined splitting circular tube energy absorber for
subway vehicles. An impact experiment is conducted to investigate the dynamic crushing …

Expansion tubes are the main energy absorber of coupler and draft gear used on high-
speed trains. With the rapidly increasing demand for energy-absorbing, the stroke is trying to …
