Impact is one of very important subjects which always have been considered in mechanical science. Nature of impact is such that which makes its control a hard task. Therefore it is required to present the transfer of impact to other vulnerable part of a structure, when it is necessary, one of the best method of absorbing energy of impact , is by using Thin-walled tubes these tubes collapses under impact and with absorption of energy, it prevents the damage to other parts. Purpose of recent study is to survey the deformation and energy absorption of tubes with different type of cross section (rectangular or square) and with similar volumes, height, mean cross section, and material under loading. Lateral loading of tubes are quasi-static type and beside as numerical analysis, also experimental experiences has been performed to evaluate the accuracy of the results. Results from the surveys is indicates that in a same conditions which mentioned above, samples with square cross section ,absorb more energy compare to rectangular cross section, and also by increscent in thickness, energy absorption would be more.

The purpose of this work is to find the specific energy absorption (SEA) of a steel tube using ABAQUS/CAE V6.10. Crashworthiness of a structure is characterised by the absorbed more amount of energy while the structure is subjected to an impact. A material structure should safeguard the occupants during an impact. The specimen geometry, processing conditions, and testing speed are the dependent parameters of energy absorption. It aims to determine the generalized mathematical model to evaluate the SEA and also find the parameter that is most likely affects SEA. Simulations are also carried out in ABAQUS/CAE to validate the developed numerical analysis.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the response of thin-walled square (60x60 mm and 76x76 mm) tubes made from mild steel filled with four different fillers; aluminium foam (Cymat 7%), two types of aluminium honeycomb and polyurethane foam to quasi-static and dynamic axial impact load. The energy absorption characteristics of the foam-filled tubes are compared to that of a hollow tube, through efficiency calculations. The tubular structures are subjected to axial impact load generated by drop masses of 320 kg and 390 kg released from a height ranging between 2.1 m to 4.1 m. Footage from a high speed camera is used to determine the average crush forces exerted by each specimen. The results show that the fillers have insignificant effects on the initial peak forces based on the quasi-static results but increase the overall mean crushed force. The findings also indicate that the fillers affect at times the size of the lobe formed thus compromising the energy absorption capacity of the tube.
