Subject : Three-dimensional tubular impact energy absorber 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : This paper presents an innovative three-dimensional collapsible impact energy absorber. The absorber consists of twelve thin tubes welded together to form a cubic cell. When crushed between two parallel plates, the vertical tubes deform axially while the horizontal ones deform laterally. Energy is absorbed in the plastic buckling of longitudinal tubes and plastic flattening of the transverse ones. Quasi-static experimental investigations were carried out for absorbers made of low-carbon steel using 30-Ton Universal Instron Testing Machine. Obtained results clearly illustrate the interactions between the two modes of deformation as well as the relative high specific energy of the absorber.
