摘要: Abstract The optimum design for energy absorbers requires considering different criteria. Therefore, the process can benefit from Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) approach. Thin-walled structures be particularly employed as in automobiles to dissipate and protect passengers peak crush load caused by severe collisions. present study investigates a thin-walled conical segmented aluminum tube which consists of several circular sections with thicknesses. To achieve design, number tubes were modeled finite element method. Energy absorption, initial load, force efficiency (the ratio mean maximum load), mass structure deformation type conflicting objective functions defined attributes/criteria. numeric logic (NL) technique was applied determine weight various Furthermore, MULTIMOORA method, well-accepted MADM model, utilized obtain tube. variables included wall thickness, lengths sections, taper angle. Drawing comparison between top rank simple revealed that could increase up 23.8% reduce 54% 17.54%, respectively.
