Abstract: |
Comparative analysis of energy absorption characteristic of square, hexagonal, octagonal and cylindrical thin-walled tubes with various different cross-sectional shapes under axial dynamic impact was carried out based on the material parameters of aluminum thin-walled tube that was validated by a sled crash test.Combined with multi-objective optimization Algorithm, the octagonal multi-cell tube with relative better energy absorption characteristic was made a parameter optimization and a new optimization design scheme was proposed.This scheme taken the thickness of the outer tube, tube support plate and inner plate of octagonal multi-cell tube as optimal design variables respectively, by comparison with traditionally regarding the multi-cell tube's thickness as an unified one, we found that after optimizing the octagonal multi-cell tube, this scheme improved its energy absorption efficiency obviously than the latter while the CFE constrained under the same level. |
