In the past decades, there has been a constant aspiration for light-weight and highly efficient
energy-absorbing structures and materials in vehicle and other industries. A large number of …

Open holes and cutouts have been widely used in composite structures for various
engineering purposes. However, perforation could largely alter the structural responses and …

The existing studies on thin-walled structures have focused on structural optimization mainly
for enhancing crashworthiness and lightweighting, whilst relatively little attention has been …

Considering volumetric energy density (VED), crashworthiness and heat dissipation, this
paper explores a novel battery pack system containing a non-module battery pack (cells to …

B-pillar and rocker are the key force transmission sub-systems of the side impact of battery
