Finite element modelling and analysis of expanding tubes

This study explores the mechanism of deforming both bare metal tubes and composite-wrapped tubes by an expansion die under quasi-static loading as a form of energy absorbing device to enhance crashworthiness. Finite element analysis is presented in this study to validate the results of the experimen...
