The variations of SEA values G1WP <strong>crash</strong> box with thickness and foam filler<br />

relative density are shown in Figure 9.12. Although, the experiments, static and<br />

dynamic simulations and response surface algorithm analysis show that the partially<br />

foam filling has higher SEA values than those of empty box within the studied box<br />

thickness and foam relative density range, analytical calculations showed that partially<br />

foam filling is efficient after a certain box thickness and foam filler density as shown in<br />
