Abstract
AbstractIn order to improve the crashworthiness of the novel circular-vein branched nested tube (CVBNT) proposed in recent research work, the crashworthiness design is optimised in this paper. Based on numerical simulation technology, the finite element model under transverse quasi-static compression of CVBNT is first established and effectively verified. Then, the energy absorption characteristics of CVBNT and different nested tubes were compared and analysed to reveal the excellent energy absorption performance of CVBNT. Finally, the structural design and the cross-sectional thickness optimisation of CVBNT are carried out. The results show that CVBNT has better energy absorption capacity than other nested tubes. The parameters N and γ have an important influence on the crashworthiness of CVBNT, and when N = 6, γ = 0.5 is the best choice in favour of its crashworthiness. At the same time, the optimisation of cross-section thickness effectively improves the crashworthiness of CVBNT.Keywords: Nested structurecrashworthinessenergy absorptionnumerical simulationoptimization design Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research is supported by The National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 51705215), The Graduate Student Scientific Research Innovation Projects in Jiangsu Province (NO.

期刊介绍:
International Journal of Crashworthiness is the only journal covering all matters relating to the crashworthiness of road vehicles (including cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles), rail vehicles, air and spacecraft, ships and submarines, and on- and off-shore installations.
The Journal provides a unique forum for the publication of original research and applied studies relevant to an audience of academics, designers and practicing engineers. International Journal of Crashworthiness publishes both original research papers (full papers and short communications) and state-of-the-art reviews.
International Journal of Crashworthiness welcomes papers that address the quality of response of materials, body structures and energy-absorbing systems that are subjected to sudden dynamic loading, papers focused on new crashworthy structures, new concepts in restraint systems and realistic accident reconstruction.
