Energy absorption capability of thin-walled aluminium tubes under crash loading

Abstract: This paper investigates the interaction of design factors such as tube thickness, tube length, and tube cross-sectional aspect ratio, along with friction and impacting mass on crashworthiness parameters such as specific energy absorption contact time, peak force and crush distance. The impact velocity is assumed to be constant at 15 m/s. The focus is on rectangular aluminium tubes and the analysis was carried out by using a validated finite element model. The analysis shows that the factors are not independent… Show more

“…Selain itu dengan variasi posisi atau jarak lubang lingkaran dari ujung spesimen struktur tabung juga sudah diteliti oleh Estrada dkk (Estrada, et al, 2017) serta Malawat dkk (Malawat, et al, 2017). Khalili dkk (Khalili, et al, 2015) melakukan investigasi terhadap kolom segi empat dengan variasi ketebalan dinding, panjang kolom, ratio penampang dan koefisien gesekan serta massa dari impaktor dalam menentukan penyerapan energi spesifik, beban tumbukan maksimum dan deformasi yang terjadi saat dilakukan pengujian tabrakan. Pengujian ini menggunakan metode simulasi numerik secara kuasi dinamik dimana kecepatan awal impaktor sebesar 15 m/s.…”

“…According to EURO NCAP, these characteristics are measured in vehicle crash tests into a barrier. In a case of the vehicle frontal impact, the structural elements of the carbody deformation zones are designed to disperse the initial kinetic energy and to absorb as much energy as possible [2,3,4].…”

“…Conversely, for thicker cylinders with a reduced radius-to-thickness ratio, their failure is characterised by plastic collapse [1]. The buckling strength of the cylindrical shell under axial compression has been adjudged to be particularly sensitive to the imperfections in the shell [2,3]. This sensitivity to geometric imperfections on the actual buckling load of the axially compressed cylindrical shell structure is however strongly dependent on the form of the imperfection approach adopted.…”
