Abstract
A comprehensive experimental and numerical studies of the crush behavior of aluminum foam-"lled
sections undergoing axial compressive loading is performed. Non-linear dynamic "nite element analyses are
carried out to simulate quasi-static test conditions. The predicted crushing force and fold formation are
found to be in good agreement with......
