Quasi-Static Crushing and Energy Absorption Characteristics of Thin-Walled Cylinders with Geometric Discontinuities of Various Aspect Ratios

Abstract In this paper, energy absorption and deformation capacity of circular thin-walled members with elliptical cut-outs are investigated both numerically and experimentally. Thin-walled members possess the uniform height, thickness, average cross sectional area, material and volume are subjected...
