6.6. Dynamic Testing of Empty and Al Foam Filled 1050 Al Crash<br />

Boxes.<br />

Empty and partially foam filled (relative density of 0.11) <strong>crash</strong> box samples with<br />

montage parts having 3 mm thickness were dynamically tested by reloading the same<br />

sample. The dynamic reloading load-displacement graphs of empty <strong>crash</strong> box are shown<br />

in Figure 6.27 (a). Because of reloading, an initial peak load is seen at beginning of each<br />

load-displacement curve as noted in the same figure. The dynamic load-displacement<br />

curves are constructed by extracting the initial part of the load-displacement curves<br />

corresponding the deformations after peak load. The reconstructed dynamic load-<br />
