    Quasi-Static Axial Crushing of Extruded Polystyrene Foam-Filled Thin-Walled Aluminum Tubes: Experimental and Numerical Analysis
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Aktay, Levent; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Güden, Mustafa
    The experimental and numerical quasi-static crushing responses of extruded closed cell polystyrene foam-filled thin-walled aluminum tubes were investigated. The numerical crash analysis of empty and foam-filled tubes was performed using the explicit finite element code PAM-CRASH™. Satisfactory agreements were generally achieved between the finite element model and experimental deformed shapes, load–displacements, fold lengths and specific energy absorptions. The model and experiments have also highlighted the several effects of foam filling on the crushing of thin-walled tubes. The energy absorptions in foam-filled tubes were further shown to be higher than the sum of the energy absorptions of empty tube (alone) and filler (alone).

    Quasi-Static Axial Crushing Behavior of Honeycomb-Filled Thin-Walled Aluminum Tubes
    (Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2011) Aktay, Levent; Çakıroğlu, Cem; Güden, Mustafa
    The experimental and numerical quasi-static crushing behaviors of Nomex™ honeycomb-filled thin-walled Al tubes were investigated. The honeycomb filler was modeled using a unit cell model. The numerical model and experimental results have shown that, 6.4 mm and 4.8 mm cell size honeycomb filling had no effect on the deformation mode (diamond); however 3.2 mm cell size honeycomb filling changed the deformation mode to mixed/concertina. Honeycomb filling was also shown to increase the specific energy absorption of filled tubes over that of Al tube. The specific energy absorption of honeycomb filling was further compared with those of tube wall thickening and Al closedcell foam filling.

    Modeling the Progressive Axial Crushing of Foam-Filled Aluminum Tubes Using Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics and Coupled Finite Element Model/Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Aktay, Levent; Johnson, Alastair F.; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Kröplin, Bernd Helmut; Güden, Mustafa
    As alternatives to the classical finite element model (FEM), a meshless smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, in which the discrete particles represent a solid domain, and a coupled FEM/SPH modeling technique were investigated for the numerical simulation of the quasi-static axial crushing of polystyrene foam-filled aluminum thin-walled aluminum tubes. The results of numerical simulations, load-deformation histories, fold lengths and specific absorbed energies, were found to show satisfactory correlations with those of experiments and FEM. The results further proved the capabilities of the SPH Method and coupled FEM/SPH modeling technique in predicting the crushing behavior of foam-filled thin-walled tubes.

    Finite Element and Coupled Finite Element/Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics Modeling of the Quasi-Static Crushing of Empty and Foam-Filled Single, Bitubular and Constraint Hexagonal- and Square-Packed Aluminum Tubes
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Aktay, Levent; Kröplin, Bernd Helmut; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Güden, Mustafa
    The quasi-static axial crushing behavior of empty and Al and polystyrene foam-filled Al single, bitubular and multi-tube-packed (hexagonal and square packing) configurations were investigated experimentally and numerically. Tubes were modeled using finite element and coupled finite element/smooth particle hydrodynamics. The numerical specific absorbed energy (SAE) values, deformation patterns, load values and number of folds formed were found to show agreements with those of experiments. Among the tested tube configurations only hexagonal- and square-packed empty tube designs showed increased SAE values over that of single empty tube. Furthermore, foam-filled multi-tube designs both hexagonal- and square-packed designs were found energetically more efficient than Al foam-filled single tubes at similar foam filler densities. The increased SAE values of multi-tubes were attributed to the frictional forces of the multi-tube designs and constraining effect of the die walls accommodating the tubes.
