Opis

Crushing behavior of energy absorbers for improving the crashworthiness capacity of vehicle structures during a collision is considered in this book. A collision or impact is a very short time occurrence that its dangerous forces are inserted to the passengers. The energy generated in a collision must be absorbed by well-designed energy absorbers to protect vehicle structure and especially passengers from severe injuries. Use of thin-walled tubes for absorbing crash energy in vehicles, high-speed railways and aerospace industries has been become popular in recent years. These structures absorb kinematic energy of a crash via elastic-plastic deformations.
