Energy absorption of patterned thin-walled structures

Thin-walled tubular structures are widely used as energy absorbing devices. However, conventional tubes show an excessively high initial peak force when loaded axially and may fail in global bending, especially when subject to oblique loading with large load angle. In this thesis, tubes with pattern...
