Effect of Pre-Bending and Hydroforming Parameters on the Formability of Advanced High Strength Steel Tube
(University of Waterloo, 2006)With increasing fuel costs and the current drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption, a need to reduce vehicle weight is apparent. Weight reduction can be achieved by replacing conventionally stamped ... -
Interaction Between Forming and the Crash Response of Aluminium Alloy S-Rails
(University of Waterloo, 2007-07-04)One of the principal energy absorbing structural components that influences the crashworthiness of a vehicle is the side-rail, which is also commonly referred to as an s-rail due to its shape that is reminiscent of an “s”. ... -
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 ...
