摘要: Abstract In this paper, a new form of energy absorbing structures has been introduced which is occurred during combined process. The structure consists thin-walled aluminum matrix and steel punch. Energy absorbed as the gets expanded followed by simultaneous punch folding. order to demonstrate effectiveness absorbent introduced, many samples each type were fabricated tested. one case, it was found that, tends absorb up 32% more than sum its individual parts. Also, absorption properties parametric study simulated using finite element code LS-Dyna. results showed that among different section geometries, with rectangular have lowest highest crush force efficiency; increasing number sides cross increased efficiency decreased. addition, thickness leads absorption. selecting an appropriate for punch, can predict overall shape load-displacement curve maximum location structure.
