Crashworthiness analysis and multiobjective optimization for circular tubes with functionally graded thickness under multiple loading angles

In this article, the nonlinear finite-element analysis software LS-DYNA is used to study the crashworthiness of functionally graded thickness circular tubes under multiple loading angles (0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°). The specific energy absorption (SEA) and maximum crashing force ( F max ) are used...
