Abstract:
Abstract—Energy absorption devices are used in all vehicles and moving parts such as road vehicle, railway couches, aircraft, ships, lifts and machinery. The aim is to minimize injury to people and to confine the damage to properties. Most of the frames in modern vehicles are made from thin-walled sections. Crashworthiness studies devote a great deal of attention to the behavior of thin-walled structures, which have been widely used as load bearing structures as well as energy absorbers. One of the types of energy absorber is crash box which absorbs kinetic energy of vehicle through plastic deformation during an impact event. Here material used for the rectangular tube is hot rolled mild steel with 2.5 mm thickness. It is meshed with Belytschko Tsay shell element with 5 mm element size. Quasi-static analysis is carried out in this work for axial loading. Mean crushing load is taken as a parameter for validation of the results. Effect of Oblique loading on rectangular tube without triggers and with triggers is studied. For preprocessing and post processing HYPERWORKS is used. LS-DYNA software is used as the processor. The energy absorbing capability of obliquely loaded rectangular tube for 15 m/s is studied with different loading angles. The collapse behavior of tube is investigated at loading angles from 0o to 30o in the steps of 5o. Energy absorption, Mean load, Peak load, CFE, deflection and deformation of rectangular tube for different load angles are observed.
