For better crashworthiness performance, vehicles must protect its occupants by maintaining
structural integrity and converting the large amount of kinetic energy into other forms of …

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

Thin-walled structures have been more and more extensively used as energy absorbing
components in industry. It however remains challenging to decide best possible structural …

In this paper, deformations and energy absorption capacity of thin walled tubes with various
section shapes (circular, square, rectangular, hexagonal, triangular, pyramidal and conical) …

Thin-walled structures have exhibited significant advantages in light weight and energy
absorption and been widely applied in automotive, aerospace, transportation and defense …

The axial crushing of square multi-cell columns were studied analytically and numerically.
Based on the Super Folding Element theory, a theoretical solution for the mean crushing …

A comparative study of energy absorption characteristics between foam-filled square
columns and multi-cell square columns was conducted by using nonlinear finite element …

Thin-walled energy-absorbing structures rarely experience in pure axial loading in real
crash events, but rather a combination of axial and off-axial loads. In this perspective, it is …

Foam-filled thin-walled tubes are considered to be desirable energy absorbers under axial
loading due to their higher energy absorption compared with empty tubes. This paper treats …

Crash components in automobiles are probably subjected to multiple loading conditions in
real life, such as axial crushing and lateral bending. Unlike most of the existing work that …
