The effect of tailoring the properties of a hot stamped axial crush rail on its axial crush
response is investigated. Four configurations of rails of thickness 1.2 and 1.8 mm were …

Thin-walled structures have been widely used as energy-absorbing components, which can
be probably subjected to multiple loading conditions in real life, such as axial crushing and …

In this paper, the crashworthiness of a new introduced thin-walled structure made of hot
stamping high strength steel with functionally graded strength (FGS), ie wall strength varying …

Thin-walled structures have been widely used as energy absorbers in industries such as
automobile, shipping and aerospace. Different from recent well-studied columns consisting …

Usibor® 1500-AS steel is commonly used in the automotive industry in the die-quenched
form due to its very high level of strength after hot stamping. In order to increase the ductility …

This thesis presents the results from characterization of the failure behaviour of hot stamped
USIBOR® 1500-AS steel sheet with tailored properties. A phenomenological approach is …

The effect of tailoring of hot stamped components is investigated, specifically the introduction
of a tailored (locally softened) flange within an otherwise martensitic hot formed side impact …

Ductibor® 500-AS steel is used in hot-stamping applications within tailor-welded blanks to
introduce more ductile, energy-absorbing regions within ultra-high strength structural …

Multi-wall profile as one of the most widely approaches can enhance the crashworthiness
properties in thin-walled tubular structures. In actual application process as energy …

This thesis presents the results from the mechanical characterization of resistance spot
welds within hot stamped USIBOR® 1500-AS steel sheet (1.2 and 1.6 mm thickness) with …
