The objective of this study is to investigate the crashworthiness performances of graded
lattice structure filled tubes (GLSFTs) under multiple impact loadings. Different graded body …

As a kind of lightweight structure with great economic benefits, metal/composite hybrid
structure is raising rapidly among automobile safety components due to its excellent anti …

Thin-walled structures are used in safety applications such as automotive vehicles and
locomotives because of their efficient energy absorption, light weight, and reduced …

Compared with the excellent energy absorption performance under axial loading, thin-
walled tubes are vulnerable to unstable global bending under oblique loading. To improve …

Polymeric foams are widely used for many impact protection applications, and functionally
graded foam materials with density-gradient strategies have been increasingly studied for …

Thin-walled hat-shaped structures have gained growing interest attributed to their excellent
performance and wide application in the vehicle industry. However, few systematic studies …
