Crashworthiness optimization of honeycomb structures under out‐of‐plane impact using radial basis functions

Crashworthiness design and development of lightweight structures have become important engineering challenges because of the high standards of energy consumption and safety regulations. Within this context, the use of honeycomb structures as crush absorber is continuously growing in automotive and aircraft industries, once honeycombs are known for their high strength‐to‐weight ratio and excellent energy absorbing capacity. Thus, this paper...
