Design and Numerical Simulation of Pyramidal Prefolded Patterned Thin-Walled Tubes

An improved pyramidal prefolded pattern was designed and applied to thin-walled tubes. This delicately designed pattern modularizes the tube to control the folding process and act as an inducer to trigger deformation modes with outstanding crushing performance. Dynamic crushing tests were conducted...
