Energy absorption of axially compressed thin-walled square tubes with patterns
The paper suggests the introduction of patterns to the surface of conventional thin-walled square tubes to improve the energy absorption capacity under axial compressive loads. A quasi-static axial crushing analysis has been conducted numerically by the nonlinear explicit finite element code LS-DYNA...
