Özet
The crushing behavior of partially Al closed-cell foam (Alulight AlSi10) filled 1050H14 Al crash boxes was investigated at quasi-static and dynamic deformation velocities. The quasi-static crushing of empty and filled boxes was further simulated using LS-DYNA. Finally, the crushing of partially foam filled 1050H14 crash boxes was optimized using the response surface methodology. The used optimization methodology was also applied to the boxes made of a stronger Al alloy, 6061T4 Al, and filled with a higher strength Al foam, Hydro Al closed cell foam, in order to clarify the effect of box material and foam filler strength on the crushing behavior of the filled boxes. Within the investigated tube thickness and foam relative density range, the energy absorption of 1050H14 boxes was optimized at 3 mm wall thickness and 0.1114 (Alulight) and 0.0508 (Hydro foam) foam filler relative density. The increase in specific energy absorption of 1050H14 crash box was 5.6% with Alulight and 21.9% for Hydro foam filling. The SEA values of empty, partially and fully foam filled boxes were predicted as function of box wall thickness between 1 and 3 mm and foam filler relative density between 0 and 0.2, using the analytical equations developed for the mean crushing loads. The analysis indicated that both fully and partially foam filled boxes were energetically more efficient than empty boxes above a critical foam filler relative density. Partial foam filling however decreased the critical foam filler density at increasing box wall thicknesses.
