Crush analysis of the foam-filled bitubal circular tube under oblique impact

[摘要] This paper presents crashworthiness analysis of bitubal cylindrical tubes under different impact angular. The numerical solution of double cylindrical tubes are determined by finite element analysis (FEA). Moreover, the structure was impacted by mass block as impactor respect to longitudinal direction of the tubes. The model of structure was developed by non-linear ABAQUS sofware with variations of load angle and dimensions of tube. The outcome of this study is the respons parameters such as the peak crusing force (PCF), energy absorption (EA) and specific energy absorption (SEA), thus it can be expected this tube as the great energy absorber.
