摘要
Mechanical response and energy absorption of aluminum foam-filled and empty circular tubes with different geometries were investigated experimentally and theoretically. All specimens including foam filled circular and empty circular tubes were compressed laterally by two rigid plates. Effects of the geometrical characteristics of specimens and densities of aluminum foam on deformation and energy absorption of the foam-filled and empty circular tubes were considered. Experimental results show that the presence of aluminum foam filled in the circular tubes changes the deformation modes and increases the energy absorption of the foam-filled circular tubes. An analytical model for the plastic deformation of the foam-filled circular tubes under the lateral loading was proposed. The relations of lateral loading and energy absorption of the foam-filled circular tubes were obtained. Comparisons between the analytical predictions and the experimental results were performed and good agreement was achieved. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
