摘要: Crash components in automobiles are probably subjected to multiple loading conditions in real life, such as axial crushing and lateral bending. Unlike most of the existing work that solely focuses on the pure axial crushing or lateral bending, this paper attempts to accommodate both by proposing a novel structure, namely foam-filled thin-wall tube with functionally lateral graded thickness (FLGT). From numerical study of FLGT structures, they are found to exhibit noticeable advantage over the corresponding traditional uniform …
