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

Aktay, Levent; Kröplin, Bernd Helmut; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Güden, Mustafa (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

Aktay, Levent; Johnson, Alastair F.; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Kröplin, Bernd Helmut; Güden, Mustafa (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 ...
