[ 1 ] - Experimental and Numerical Studies on the Characteristics of Simple and Multi-cell Shapes of Quasi-hemisphere Thin-walled Structures

 Thin-walled energy absorbers are used to reduce accident induced damages. In this study, thin-walled stainless steel structures in quasi-hemisphere geometry were subjected under quasi-static loading with Santam 150KN apparatus. Experimental results were compared with results of numerical simulations by LS-DYNA and it was shown that there is a good agreement between experimental and numerical r...
