“…Copa [16] describes the behavior of a conical shell under axial compression. Mamalis et al [17] have studied the load-compression characteristics of conical frusta under axial loading and find that load-carrying characteristics of such elements are similar to those of cylindrical tubes, but with a mean load which increases with the apex angle of the cone. Reid and Reddy [4] studied tapered sheet metal tubes as impact energy absorbers under axial quasi-static and oblique dynamic loadings.…”

“…Nagel and Thambiratnam [19] investigated the energy absorption response of straight and taper tube by using finite element techniques (Tool-ABAQUS). Simulation results were validated with the past literature results [37]. From the simulation result, they noticed that taper tubes have highest energy absorption capacity than straight tubes and also crush force efficiency increases with increase in a wall thickness.…”

Abstract. Collapsible impact energy absorbers play an important role of protecting automotive components from damage during collision. Collision of the two objects results into the damage to one or both of them. Damage may be in the form of crack, fracture and scratch. Designers must know about how the material and object behave under impact event. Owing to above reasons different types of collapsible impact energy absorbers are developed. In the past different studies were undertaken to improve such collapsible impact energy absorbers .This article highlights such studies on common shapes of collapsible impact energy absorber and their impact behaviour under the axial compression. The literature based on studies and analyses of effects of different geometrical parameters on the crushing behaviour of impact energy absorbers is presented in detail. The energy absorber can be of different shape such as circular tube, square tube, and frustums of cone and pyramids. The crushing behaviour of energy absorbers includes studies on crushing mechanics, modes of deformation, energy absorbing capacity, effect on peak and mean crushing load. In this work efforts are made to cover major outcomes from past studies on such behavioural parameters. Even though the major literature reviewed is related to metallic energy absorbers, emphasis is also laid on covering literature on use of composite tube, fiber metal lamination (FML) member, honeycomb plate and functionally graded thickness (FGT) tube as a collapsible impact energy absorber.

“…Such a value has been used in previous studies simulating the axial crushing of square tapered tubes under impact loads [16]. The friction coefficient for contact between the walls of each tube was found to have no significant influence on the energy absorption response, and hence a coefficient of 0.1 was used for all analyses.…”
