ABSTRACT

The crashworthiness of structures refers to their ability to protect occupants during an impact by absorbing and dissipating the energy generated during a collision. One of the most critical design considerations in safety engineering, especially in automotive and aerospace industries, is to ensure that energy absorption during a crash is maximized while minimizing damage to the occupants. Among the various energy-absorbing structures, corrugated tubes have emerged as an effective solution due to their enhanced performance in crash scenarios. This article delves into a numerical
study on the crashworthiness of corrugated conical tubes, focusing on their energy absorption capabilities, deformation modes, and overall performance during an impact.
