SIMULATION ANALYSIS FOR ENERGY-ABSORPTION PROPERTIES OF A NESTED SQUARE THIN-WALLED TUBE by YU MingYang, MI CaiYing

“…The results show that: during the collision happening in the axial direction,the deformation mode of the nested square thin-walled tube is asymptotic telescoping deformation; the specific energy absorption of the nested square thin-walled tube is 25. 72 kJ/kg,which is about 1. 64 times and 1. 31 times higher than the ordinary square tube and symmetrical four cells tube; reducing the thickness of the embedded walls can achieve the lightweight design target and shortening the height of the embedded walls and ribs can effectively reduce the initial peak crushing force. …”
