Crashworthiness Analysis of Square Aluminum Tubes Subjected to Oblique Impact: Experimental and Numerical Study on the Initial Contact Effect

Crashworthiness Analysis of Square Aluminum Tubes Subjected to Oblique Impact: Experimental and Numerical Study on the Initial Contact Effect

This study investigates the crashworthiness behavior of square aluminum thin-walled tubes subjected to both axial and oblique impact loading, emphasizing the effects of crushing angle and initial contact between impactor and tube on the plastic collapse initiation and energy absorption capacity. A p...
