Article Synopsis
- Polyurethane foams significantly enhance energy absorption and are evaluated through two numerical methods, H-method and P-method, for reliability in simulating re-entrant structures.
- The study finds that the P-method is more computationally efficient when modeling these structures under axial loads, while numerical results align well with analytical solutions.
- Furthermore, a re-entrant cellular tube is analyzed under different loading conditions, revealing that auxetic cellular tubes perform better than solid tubes in terms of crashworthiness during compressive loading.
