Abstract
The present paper is dealing with the implementation of the explicit FE Code LS-DYNA to the simulation of the crash behaviour and energy absorption characteristics of thick-walled square tubular crashworthy components made of hybrid sandwich material with corrugated core subjected to axial compressive loading. The obtained numerical results are compared with actual experimental data from small-scale models in terms of deformation modes, energy absorption capability, load/deflection history and crush zone characteristics, showing very good agreement.
