3.4. Crushing Behavior of Foam Filled Tubes<br />

(a)<br />

Axial compression behavior of aluminum foam filled square and circular steel<br />

tubes were investigated by Seitzberger et al. (Seitzberger, et al. 1997). It was shown that<br />

the interaction between foam filler and tube wall increased the absorbed energy and<br />

changed the deformation mode tubes in foam filled tubes. The effect of aluminum foam<br />

filling on the crushing behavior of AA6060 T4 Al square tubes under dynamic and<br />
