6.5.4. Uniaxial Compression Testing of Empty and Partially Foam<br />

Filled Crash Box with Montage Parts<br />

The sequential deformation pictures of empty, F1 and F2 foam filled G1 and G2<br />

tubes with montage parts (3, 2.5 and 2 mm wall thickness) are shown in Figures 6.21<br />

and 6.22, respectively. As seen in the fallowing figures, the folding starts from the<br />

corrugated <strong>section</strong>s in all tube thicknesses and geometries. In 3 mm thick filled G1<br />

<strong>boxes</strong>, the folding progresses through the filled <strong>section</strong> of the box following the folding<br />

of the corrugated <strong>section</strong>, while in other filled <strong>boxes</strong>, the other end of the <strong>boxes</strong> (empty)<br />

deform before the folding progresses into filled <strong>section</strong>. In both variations of empty<br />
