A Cylindrical Crash Absorber with Discontinuous Protrusions and Its Manufacture Using a Successive Partial Rubber-Bulging Method

In an effort to improve impact energy-absorption characteristics, this study introduces a cylindrical crash absorber (CAP) with discontinuous protrusions and a continuous local-expansion plastic-forming method for its manufacture. The mechanical properties of the cylindrical energy-absorption struct...
