Impact Energy Absorption Capability of Magnesium Alloy Pipe

Design of Thin Wall Structures for Energy Absorption Applications: Design for Crash Injuries Mitigation Using Magnesium Alloy

This paper describes a computational investigation on the response of thin wall structures due to dynamic compression loading. In this paper, the tubes subjected for both direct and oblique loading. Several different cross-sectional structures have been studied to specify the best one. Initially the tubes were subjected to direct loading, and then the tubes were subjected to oblique loading. Af...

Cushioning Systems for Impact Energy Absorption

In this paper we investigate the use of an innovative sheet folding theory and technology in the design of new cushioning systems. Flat sheets of material are folded into three dimensional patterns. The effectiveness of the folded pattern in absorbing impact energy without subjecting items being cushioned to high acceleration is dependent on the sheet material, the fold configuration (number of...

Study of Energy Absorption in Automobile Light Weight Composites Subjected to Impact: Numerical-Experimental

Automobile light weight structural composites are subjected to the various loadings in their service lives. Honeycombs are increasingly used as core structures in automobile light weight structures as energy absorbers. In this paper the energy absorption of honeycomb panels under impact of cylindrical projectile is numerically and experimentally studied. The effect of the core materials and cro...

effect of expulsion on energy absorption capability of low carbon steel resistance spot welds

this paper aims at investigating the effects of weld nugget size and expulsion on the mechanical properties of low carbon steel resistance spot welds using tensile-shear test. mechanical performance of spot welds are described in terms of failure mode, peak load and failure energy obtained from the tensile-shear test. the effects of voids and porosity as well as electrode indentation associated...
