Abstract The present research introduces a new configuration of thin-walled nested tube structure as possible energy absorber subjected to lateral compression. nested-tube structures were configured in system comprising four tubes arranged different ways. All the systems quasi-statically compressed direction on universal mechanical tester obtain their absorption characteristics. Two modes defor...

Alternating current impedance measurements have been made on several single marine eggs over the frequency range from 1 to 2500 kilocycles per second. The eggs were placed in the center of a short capillary made by heating the end of a 2 mm. thin walled glass tube until it nearly closed, and electrodes were placed in the sea water on each side of the egg. When it is assumed that the membrane co...

In this paper, the response surface methodology (RSM) and finite element (FE) simulation were applied to optimize push-bending process parameters of thin-walled tube with polyurethane mandrel. The objective present work is predict optimal set including length diameter ratio mandrel (L/D), friction coefficient between die ( $${\mu }_{1}$$ ), }_{2}$$ Poisson’s $$\upsilon$$ ) obtain qualified bent...

in this paper a new element for analysis of thin-walled structures is presented, and the effects of secondary shear stresses on longitudinal displacements are examined. since the interpolation functions are based on non-uniform torsional differential equations, the analysis of stiffness matrix is facilitated. therefore, its ability to produce accurate results with the least number of elements i...
