Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the energy absorption characteristics of tapered circular tubes with graded thickness (TCTGT) under axial loading. TCTGT specimens were fabricated by a tube tapering machine and the forming effects on crush response were investigated. Both the original straight circular tube and the fabricated TCTGT were tested and compared to analyze the relative merits of TCTGT. Numerical simulations of the tests were conducted...
