Comparative study on destructive performance and energy absorption of aluminum tube by simulation and experiment

This study conducted an investigation on transverse quasi-static three-point loading on a circular aluminum tube and its characteristic plastic failure and energy-absorption behaviors. The thin wall thickness of the aluminum tube, the various diameter and thickness ratios ( D / t ) of the tube, and...
