The optimisation of the energy absorption of partially Al foam-filled commercial 1050H14 and 6061T4 Al crash boxes
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-02)
Partially Alulight and Hydro Al closed-cell foam-filled commercial 1050H14 Al and 6061T4 Al crash boxes were optimised using the response surface methodology in order to maximise specific energy absorption (SEA). The ...
The strengthening effect of polystyrene foam filling in aluminum thin-walled cylindrical tubes
(Elsevier, 2005)
The strengthening effect of foam filling in thin-walled circular tubes, deforming in diamond and concertina modes, was investigated in polystyrene foam filled aluminum tubes. Empty tubes of two different diameters (16 and ...
Partial Al foam filling of commercial 1050H14 Al crash boxes: The effect of box column thickness and foam relative density on energy absorption
(Elsevier, 2010-07)
The crushing behavior of partially Al closed-cell foam filled commercial 1050H14 Al crash boxes was determined at quasi-static and dynamic deformation velocities. The quasi-static and dynamic crushing of the boxes were ...
Effect of adhesive on the strengthening of aluminum foam-filled circular tubes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004)
Studies of the crushing behavior of closed-cell, aluminum foam-filled aluminum and steel tubes have
shown an interaction effect between tubewall and foam filler [1, 2, 3]. The crushing loads of foam-filled tubes
are, ...
Quasi-static axial crushing of extruded polystyrene foam-filled thin-walled aluminum tubes: Experimental and numerical analysis
(Elsevier, 2006)
The experimental and numerical quasi-static crushing responses of extruded closed cell polystyrene foam-filled thin-walled aluminum tubes were investigated. The numerical crash analysis of empty and foam-filled tubes was ...
SiC-particulate aluminum composite foams produced by powder compacts: Foaming and compression behavior
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003)
The foaming behavior of SiC-particulate (8.6% by volume) aluminum composite powder compacts contained Titanium Hydride blowing agent was investigated by heating above the melting temperature (750°C) in a pre-heated furnace. ...
Experimental investigation of interaction effects in foam-filled thin-walled aluminum tubes
(Springer, 2006)
The interaction coefficients of polystyrene foam filling of thin-walled aluminum cylindrical tubes were investigated experimentally through compression testing of partially foam-filled tubes with and without adhesive. The ...
Predicting energy absorption in a foam-filled thin-walled aluminum tube based on experimentally determined strengthening coefficient
(Elsevier, 2006)
The energy absorption in a foam-filled thin-walled circular Al tube was investigated based on the experimentally determined strengthening coefficient of filling using Al and polystyrene closed-cell foams with three different ...
Finite element and coupled finite element/smooth particle hydrodynamics modeling of the quasi-static crushing of empty and foam-filled single, bitubular and constraint hexagonal- and square-packed aluminum tubes
(Elsevier, 2008)
The quasi-static axial crushing behavior of empty and Al and polystyrene foam-filled Al single, bitubular and multi-tube-packed (hexagonal and square packing) configurations were investigated experimentally and numerically. ...
Modeling the progressive axial crushing of foam-filled aluminum tubes using smooth particle hydrodynamics and coupled finite element model/smooth particle hydrodynamics
(Elsevier, 2008)
As alternatives to the classical finite element model (FEM), a meshless smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, in which the discrete particles represent a solid domain, and a coupled FEM/SPH modeling technique were ...
