NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF MULTI-CORNER CRASH BOX UNDER AXIAL LOADING

In modern civilization, as it is today, transportation takes a significant role in human life. As modes of transportation become more diverse and more parties to use and developing them, people increasingly pay attention to the safety of transportation modes. Various kinds of efforts have been given...
