“…In the laboratory, high speed deformation performance of materials, such as dynamic strength and energy absorption, is usually examined by the Hopkinson bar testing machine 1,2) or the drop weight crush testing system. 3,4) In recent years, many studies have been conducted on the crashworthiness of various steels, [5][6][7][8][9][10] such as DP, transformation induced plasticity (TRIP), and high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels. However, most of them have only investigated the component design factors, such as size, shape and thickness.…”
