It is widely known that the demand for lightweight structures with excellent energy absorption
capacity is paramount in numerous engineering applications. Many publications have …

It is crucial that proper engineering structures are designed as energy absorbers for high
dynamic loading situations, such as accidents, blasts, or impacts. The role of such structures …

This work aimed to investigate progressive collapse behaviors and mechanisms of the 3D
printed thin-walled composite structures under quasi-static compression and dynamic …

Taking advantage of multi-cell tubes and lattice structures on improving crashworthiness
performances, a novel multi-cell thin-walled tube filled with uniform and graded lattice …

This document reviews the recent research work on the mechanical properties of 6xxx series
aluminium alloys at strain rates in the range of∼ 10− 5–10 5 s− 1, and crashworthiness of …

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 …

A new generation of fluid pressure forming technology has been developed for the three
typical structures of tubes, sheets, and shells, and hard-to-deform material components that …

A novel bionic bamboo-shaped tubular structure (BBSTS) was proposed to improve the
energy absorption performance of composite tube under oblique crushing. A finite element …

Energy absorption of traditional tubular energy absorbers is restricted by the low structure
efficiency, which makes the mean crushing force of the structure usually much lower than its …

A new type of axially varying thickness lateral corrugated tube (AVTLCT) is proposed. The
crashworthiness of the AVTLCT under axial impact has been systematically studied. The …
