Abstract

In this PhD thesis the crashworthiness topic is studied with the perspective of the development of a small-scale experimental test able to characterize a material in terms of energy absorption. The material properties obtained are then used to validate a nu- merical model of the experimental test itself. Consequently, the numerical model, calibrated on the specific ma- terial, can be extended to more complex structures and used to simulate their energy absorption behavior. The experimental activity started at University of Washington in Seattle, WA (USA) and continued at Second Faculty of Engi- neering, University of Bologna, Forl`ı (Italy), where the numerical model for the simulation of the experimental test was implemented and optimized.
