Axial crushing behaviors of buckling induced triangular tubular structures
To reduce the initial peak force (IPF) and improve the crushing force efficiency (CFE) of tubular energy absorbers, buckling induced tubes (BITs) were designed based on modal analysis of straight-walled triangular tubes. The crushing mechanism of the BIT under quasi-static compression was revealed t...
