This paper reviewed the crashworthiness of foam-filled thin-walled structure subjected to oblique loading conditions. Crashworthiness is the most important part in designing a safety vehicle, so, the types of collisions, crashworthiness parameter and the modes of collapse of structural components are included in this part. Secondly, the energy absorber regarding the axial loading and oblique loading in terms of geometry parameters and materials of the previous research is reviewed. In addition, the manufacturing and properties of aluminium foams with the collapse behavior of foam-filled structures are studied to understand the performance and the relation under loading.

The dynamic oblique crushing of circular thin-walled tubes with the presence of non-propagating crack was investigated numerically. The material considered was strain rate sensitive with crack located at the distal end of the tube. Major crashworthiness parameters were obtained and the analysis of the structural response for idealized and finite element crushed thin-walled tubes was also carried out. The study shows that crack initiation on energy absorbing tubes increase their crushing force efficiency under oblique impact, decrease their crushing force efficiency under axial impact and reduce their crashworthiness performance such as the energy absorption capacity and specific energy absorption under axial and oblique impact. Results of the crashworthiness parameters, deformation modes, damage morphology, stress–strain relations, absorption energy characteristics and crushing force-displacement history were obtained. Furthermore, the numerical study reveals both the desirable and undesirable consequence of crack on the overall crashworthiness performance of energy absorbing circular thin-walled tubes.
