Abstract
In this study deal with numerical analysis of the impact dynamic effects of crush performance of the tapered cross-section tubes, containing straight, single taper, double taper, taper triple and fourth tapered lightweight polyurethane foam filled alloy steel thin-walled tube. Foam-filled thin-walled tubes have been examined numerically. Off-axis angle load dynamic effects in front of crash were examined at an angle of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 degrees. Numerical analysis has been verified by experimental studies in place to validate the data. The results show that the energy absorption capacity has been significantly affected tube with various oblique angle, impact velocity and wall thickness. It was found that the foam filling in a thin-walled tubes increase the amount of energy absorbed compared with empty tubes.
