On the Development of Fold Initiator Patterns to Promote Progressive Folding of Hot Stamped Ultra-High Strength Axial Crush Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-21)The effect of fold initiator design on the performance of axial crush rails fabricated using ultra high strength steels (UHSS) is examined in a combined experimental-numerical-analytical study. Of particular interest is ... -
Predicting the axial crush response of CFRP tubes using three damage-based constitutive models
(Elsevier, 2018-08)Availability of newly developed rapid manufacturing processes may in the near future enable the integration of continuous fiber composites into vehicles while maintaining the volume production rates typical for the automotive ... -
A Study of the Axial Crush Response of Hydroformed Aluminum Alloy Tubes
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-03)There exists considerable motivation to reduce vehicle weight through the adoption of lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloys, while maintaining energy absorption and component integrity under crash conditions. To ...
