Evaluation Study of Alexander And Abramowicz Absorption Energy Models Using Thin Metallic Tubes

Abstract

To estimate the models of Alexander and Abramwicz Aluminum alloy AISI5052 tubes specimens are used under impact loading and room temperature. Twotypes of specimens are used the circular and square cross – section tubes with equalwall cross – sectional area. The main conclusions that can be drawn from thiswork are as follows :-This study showed that the models of Alexander and Aromawicz are valid for thealuminum alloy.-.The circular section specimens absorbed energy greater than the square crosssection specimens
