Dynamic computer simulation and energy absorption of foam-filled conical tubes under axial impact loading

This paper treats the dynamic response and energy absorption of aluminum foam-filled conical tubes under axial impact loading using non-linear finite element techniques. The influence of geometrical, material and loading parameters on the impact response is investigated using validated numerical mod...
