- The crashworthiness performance of structures is a highly important topic for automotive, railway and aerospace industries to ensure the safety of passengers. This paper investigated the crush and energy absorption behaviour of laterally loaded thin-walled tubes. The lateral deformation mode is among the most frequent deformation modes that many protective structures used in vehicles might encounter. The study was among the pioneering investigations in the crashworthiness field that combined design of experimental technique, surrogate modelling, finite element method, and experimental tests to find the optimal crashworthiness design with enhanced performance.
