Simulation of thermal trigger design for crashworthiness structures

This study presents an alternative approach for the improvement of crash energy absorption in representative automobile crashworthiness structures. It is studied the introduction of configurable crush initiators through localized heating in tubular structures. The main objective is to improve the ab...
