8.2. Optimization of Partially Filled Crush Box with 6061T4 Al and<br />
Hydro Foam Filler<br />
The material model data of 6061T4 Al (MAT 3) and Hydro Al foam (AlSi8Mg)<br />
used in the simulations are tabulated in Tables 8.2 and 8.3. data The plastic-kinematic<br />
hardening material model data of 6061T4 Al were taken from reference (Hou, et al.<br />
2008), Hydro Al foam (AlSi8Mg) data from reference (Reyes, et al. 2003). The<br />
simulations of Hydro Al foam filling were performed both for 1050H14 and 6061T4 Al<br />
alloy <strong>boxes</strong>. Representative load-displacement curve of partially Hydro foam filled 2<br />
mm thick 6061T4 Al box is shown in Figure 8.4. Similar to Alulight foam filling of<br />
1050H14 Al <strong>boxes</strong>, Hydro foam filling of 6061T4 Al box of 2 mm thick results in<br />
higher load values than empty box, as is expected. However, the increase in load values<br />
of filled <strong>boxes</strong> after about 50 mm displacement is more pronounced in 6061T4 Al<br />
<strong>boxes</strong> than in 1050H14 Al <strong>boxes</strong> (Figure 8.5).<br />
