Design and crashworthiness analysis of novel gradient hashtag-shaped fractal thin-walled structure
Inspired by the fractal and hierarchical features of organisms, a novel hashtag-shaped fractal structure (#-FS) was proposed, and its crashworthiness performance was analyzed using finite element simulations. The results show that the proposed #-FS exhibits superior energy-absorbing capacity compared to the conventional square tube under the same mass condition. Compared with conventional square tube, the energy absorption of #-FS with 3rd level increases by 216.36 % and its peak crush force (PCF) decreases by 0.24 % at the same mass. Finally, the effects of the wall thickness gradient (k) on the crashworthiness performance of #-FS and the hashtag-shaped gradient fractal core structure (#-GFS-k-SW) were systematically investigated.
期刊介绍:
Materials and Design is a multi-disciplinary journal that publishes original research reports, review articles, and express communications. The journal focuses on studying the structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advancements in synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing, the design of materials and engineering systems, and their applications in technology. It aims to bring together various aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry.
The journal explores themes ranging from materials to design and aims to reveal the connections between natural and artificial materials, as well as experiment and modeling. Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design should contain elements of discovery and surprise, as they often contribute new insights into the architecture and function of matter.
