Axial Crushing of Concentric Expanded Metal Tubes Under Impact Loading

Abstract This paper investigates the axial crushing response of concentric expanded metal tubes under impact loading. The study is conducted by means of nonlinear finite element simulations, considering the speed of deformation and the size of the expanded metal cells. In the analysis, two tubes are...
