TUBULAR THIN-WALLED ENERGY ABSORBING STRUCTURES WITH TRIGGERS – RECENT ADVANCES
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 3
Abstract
In the present paper the state of art review concerning recent advances in research into crashworthiness performance and energy absorption capacity of tubular thin-walled energy absorbing structures with triggers promoting the most desirable crushing process is presented. Particularly recent results of the crushing behavior analysis of thin-walled rectangular cross-section columns with non-periodically situated flaws (dents or slots) are presented. Some final remarks about further research perspectives in this field are derived.

AN APPLICATION OF THE OPTIMAL AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS TO BLASIUS PROBLEM
In this work, a new procedure namely the Optimal Auxiliary Functions Method (OAFM) is proposed to obtain an explicit analytical solution of the Blasius problem. Our solutions are compared with those obtained by numerical...

A VIRTUAL INTERNAL BOND MODEL FOR HYSTERETIC MEDIA
In this paper, the properties of the hysteretic media are investigated via the virtual internal bond model (VIB) derived from the hyperelasticity with the integration of the 6–12 Lennard-Jones atomic interacting potentia...
THIN FILMS FLOW DRIVEN BY GRAVITY AND A SURFACE TENSION GRADIENT
The flow of a thin layer on a horizontal plate in the lubrication approximation is considered. The flow is driven simultaneously by gravity and some gradients of surface tension. These gradients imply a non-zero tangenti...
CALCULUS OF THE TORSOR OF INERTIA FORCES FOR A RIGID SOLID BODY IN GENERAL MOTION
The calculus of the torsor of the inertia forces for a rigid solid body in general motion is a very important matter for its next dynamic study. In other words if we aim to perform the dynamic survey of a rigid solid bod...
