ABSTRACT Shells have exhibited significant advantages in energy absorption. We examine the crashworthiness of the end-capped thin-walled stainless steel conical frusta under axial load and evaluate the effect of cutouts on crashing behavior and energy absorption capacity of these structures. Experimental tests are done by INSTRON 8802 servo hydraulic testing machine. Numerical studies are carried out by simulation via the ABAQUS software. Several changes in shape, size, location and angle of cutouts are investigated to determine the influence of the cutouts on the crash behavior and energy absorption capacity. In addition, Effects of changing height of shells on crashworthiness are studied. |
