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.
