Energy absorbtion and mean crushing load of thin-walled grooved tubes under axial compression
AbstractIn the present study, crashworthiness characteristics of thin-walled steel tubes containing annular grooves are studied. For this purpose, the grooves are introduced in the tube to force the plastic deformation to occur at predetermined intervals along the tube. The aims are controlling the buckling mode and predicting energy absorption capacity of the tubes. To do so, circumferential grooves are cut alternately inside and outside of the tubes at predetermined intervals. Quasi-static axial crushing tests are performed and the load-displacement curves are studied. Theoretical formulations are presented for predicting the energy absorption and mean crushing load. It is found a good agreement between the theoretical results and experimental findings. The results indicate that the load-displacement curve and energy absorbed by the axial crushing of tubes could be controlled by the introduction of grooves with different distances. Also, grooves can stabilize the deformation behavior and thus, the proposed method could be a good candidate as a controllable energy absorption element.
