Experimental and computational evaluation of compressive response of single and hex-arrayed aluminum tubes
2007
Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures
We report experiments and simulations of the dynamic and quasistatic compressive response of single and hex-arrayed thick aluminum tubes. The investigation aims to further characterize how tube-based sandwich structures absorb energy. First, we study by compression tests the quasistatic buckling of single tubes of 7075 aluminum, an alloy showing sufficient ductility and plasticity to make it potentially a good choice for energy absorbing devices. The experiments show geometry-dependent buckling
