The effect of fold initiator design on the performance of axial crush rails fabricated using ultra high strength steels (UHSS) is examined in a combined experimental-numerical-analytical …
This thesis investigates the response of 1500 MPa and 2000 MPa press hardening steel (PHS) in a dynamic crushing scenario. The work involves creating numerical models to …
This thesis investigates the application of hot stamped ultra-high strength steel (greater than 1000 MPa tensile strength) tailor-welded blanks in vehicle frontal crash energy management …
