Effect of Axial Impact Loading On Energy Absorption Capability of Thin-Walled Structures in Automotive Application

This study seeks to analyse the energy absorption and crushing behaviour of square thin-walled aluminium structures with the addition of different shapes of stiffeners internally by exposing them to axial quasi-static loading. The aspects of energy absorption analysed in these structures are specifi...
