Energy absorption characteristics of stepped multi-cell columns subjected to transverse loading

Automotive bumper beam is a vital component that shields passenger and vehicle from harm and damage generated by catastrophic collapse. Previous investigations on its bending behavior have largely concentrated on multi-cell tubes with the same length, whereas stepped multi-cell structures have recei...
