Mechanics of Energy Absorption by Progressive Plastic Deformation of a Square Column with an Ellipsoidal Bulge Base
Thin-walled square columns are generally used as energy absorber in various applications due to their ease of fabrication and installation, high energy absorption capacity in terms of progressive plastic deformation and long stroke. However, the main drawback of a standard square column is the high...
