METHODOLOGY FOR THE DESIGN OF A LIGHTER FOAM FILLED TUBE STRUCTURE FOR IMPROVED CRASHWORTHINESS PARAMETERS SUBJECTED TO QUASI STATIC AXIAL COMPRESSION

The objective of this research paper is to propose a general methodology for the design of a foam filled tube which is lighter and more efficient in terms of Specific Energy Absorption (SEA) and Crush Force Efficiency (CFE) than an existing square aluminium empty tube for energy absorption applicati...
