Crushing Analysis and Optimization of Adjacent Variable Thickness Hexagonal Tubes

In this study, we proposed a new adjacent variable thickness hexagonal tube (AVTHT) and performed crushing analysis and crashworthiness optimization under multiple loadings. First, the finite element models were constructed and validated by experiments with four configurations of AVTHTs. Then, the n...
