[ 1 ] - Experimental Analysis of Crashworthiness Behavior of Energy Absorber Tubes Under 3D Oblique Load
Actual applications of the energy absorbers showed that actual loads are not applied in the form of pure axial compression, pure bending or pure torsion. In reality, an energy absorber component may be subjected to combined loading of compression, bending and torsion. A number of previous articles have investigated the behavior of energy absorbers under oblique loading. In such cases, the obliq...
