Thin-walled hollow structures capable of large plastic deformations are ubiquitously present
in sacrificial, high-capacity energy absorbers. A significant challenge in the field of structural …

This paper aims to optimize the crashworthiness capability of glass-reinforced epoxy
composites (GFRE) over wrapped polyvinyl chloride (PVC) circular tubes with cutouts. The …

This work overviews the axial crushing behaviour of tube in absorbing kinetic energy
produced due to impact collision. Key insights on crash mechanics of crumple zone are …

In order to improve the energy absorption (EA) performance of thin-walled structures and
overcome defects of a large peak impact force and large load fluctuation of multi-tube …

In this study, a new tubular corrugated configuration mimicking the coconut tree profile, here
named “conical corrugation tube”(CCT), was proposed, in an attempt to enhance the energy …

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 work experimentally investigates the quasi‐static crush response and energy
absorption of glass‐reinforced epoxy thin‐walled crash box filled with nano‐aluminum oxide …

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

Reducing the risk and severity of injuries during collisions is achieved through the design of
crashworthy structures and systems within the vehicle. In this study, the crashworthiness …

The effect of inducing circular holes into aluminum wrapped with glass/epoxy (Al/GFRP)
pipes was investigated. Intact and holed specimens were evaluated in quasi-static axial …
