Crushing analysis and multi-objective crashworthiness optimization of multi-cell conical tube subjected to oblique loading

In this article, a novel multi-cell conical tube is designed. First, a detail analysis about the crashworthiness of three structures, that is, the multi-cell conical tube, multi-cell square tapered tube, and fourfold-cell conical tube, is made and compared at the condition of keeping the same mass w...
