- This paper examines the crush and energy absorption responses of nested tubes under quasi-static and dynamic impact loading. The study employed reliable experimental testing along with validated numerical simulations to attain a comprehensive insight into the performance of such structures and the influences of the different geometrical parameters. The nested tubes proposed in this paper are novel and very beneficial as energy absorbers for structures with limited crush zones.
