Optimization of Partially Filled Column Subjected to Oblique Loading
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, optimization is carried out to find the optimized design of a foam-filled column for the best Specific Energy Absorption (SEA) and Crush Force Efficiency (CFE). In order to maximize SEA, the optimization gives the value of 2.3 for column thickness and 151.7 for foam length. On the other hand to maximize CFE, the optimization gives the value of 1.1 for column thickness and 200 for foam length. Finite Element simulation is run by using this value and the SEA and CFE obtained 1237.76 J/kg and 0.92. Keywords—Crash; foam; oblique loading.

متن کاملOptimization of foam-filled double ellipse tubes under multiple loading cases
In this paper, a novel foam-filled double ellipse tube (F-DET) is proposed. First, the circle and ellipse tubes with three different configurations(hollow, foam-filled, double foam-filled) are investigated under axial and oblique impact by using the nonlinear finite element code LS-DYNA. The numerical results showed that the F-DET tube has the best crashworthiness performance than tubes with ot...
