• Crashworthiness design for foam filled thin-wall structures (2009, methodology): “Therefore, in order to obtain perfect progressive folding patterns, triggers were introduced in the finite element models as suggested in literature [ 4 ,12].”
• Deformation, energy absorption and crushing behavior of single-, double- and multi-wall foam filled square and circular tubes (2015, background): “They derived closed-form solutions to compute the mean crushing strength of such sections and also concluded that considering interaction between foam core and column wall significantly enhances the energy absorption [28].”
• Energy absorption of axially compressed thin-walled square tubes with patterns (2007, methodology): “Both the energy absorption and weight efficiency could be significantly enhanced when the single cell cross-section was replaced by multi-cell profile, according to Chen and Wierzbicki [17] and Kim [18].”
