Metallic Shell Parametric Study for Crush Behavior
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The shell structures are the choice for structural application due to their weight to cost ratio. They are widely used in energy absorption in case of crash and impact events. The shells are widely used in automotives, nose cone of planes, war heads etc. The response of this shell structure are quite complex for loadings. The response depends on the geometry of the shell. This geometry could be a combination of many basics shape. The study was planned on basic shape like cylinder, combined geometry of cylinder and frusta and on geometry with special features. The force displacement graphs were discussed in details. The energy absorption capacities of the geometries were discussed. The analytical approach was also used to simulate the experiment.
