High Energy Absorption

This study conducted an investigation on transverse quasi-static three-point loading on a circular aluminum tube and its characteristic plastic failure and energy-absorption behaviors. The thin wall thickness of the aluminum tube, the various diameter and thickness ratios ( D/ t) of the tube, and the tube length are important control parameters. Experimental data for different span length and thickness ratios of the tube were characterized and correlated to its plastic collapse behavior. A simulation model by computational analysis using ANSYS was also conducted as a comparative study. The results of the study found that transverse three-point bend loading (ASTM F290) of a circular aluminum tube underwent different stages of deformation, from initial pure crumpling to crumpling and bending, and finally, structural rupture. The results of master curve analysis found that regions of high energy absorption and low energy absorption can be classified with respect to the characteristic tubular deformation. High energy absorption deformation is correlated with a short span length and higher D/ t ratio, and vice versa for low energy absorption deformation of the circular aluminum tube. Simulation analysis also predicted similar characteristic trends of deformation behavior in the experiment, with a less than 3% average coefficient of variation.

Two Sides

As an energy absorption member, fiber-reinforced composites (FRPs) are more favorable because they are light in weight and possess better energy absorption capabilities as compared to their metal counterparts. However, the energy absorbing mechanisms of FRP are complicated owning to the multi-micro fractures. Therefore, in this study, the designs of FRP tubes were carried out with considerations directed at the energy absorbing mechanisms. Two methods based on the design of the energy absorbed by bending of the fronds (Ubend) and the energy absorbed by fiber fractures (Uff) are concentrated. Here the bending behavior of frond can be considered as the bending beam by an external force. And it is found that Ubend is affected directly by the inertia moment I, which is affect by the geometry. Therefore, FRP tubes were fabricated to have a geometry combined with a bigger I. Additional, in order to get more fiber fractures to get an increased Uff, the design of bending stress, σ, was carried out. FRP tubes bending towards one side only rather than two sides are proposed to get bending fronds with a double thicker thickness, which in turn led to high stresses, many fiber fractures and high energy absorption.

Initial Peak

Thin-walled tubes are generally used as impact energy absorber in various application due to their ease of fabrication and installation, high energy absorption capacity and long stroke. However, the main drawback of plain tube is the high initial peak force. A concentric plunger in the form of tapered block is proposed to overcome this shortcoming while at the same time, improving the impact performance. Static and dynamic axial crushing were performed to determine the initial peak force (IPF), crush force efficiency (CFE) and specific energy absorption (SEA) for the concentric plunger with various taper angles. It was found that the concentric plunger affected the tube impact response. Comparison with plain circular tube was carried out and it was found that the concentric plunger improved the impact response of the tube especially in term of initial peak force.
