Energy Absorption of Aluminium Extrusions Filled with Cellular Materials Under Axial Crushing: Study of the Interaction Effect
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] This investigation focuses on the interaction effect during the quasi-static axial crushing of circular and square thin-walled aluminium extrusions filled with polymeric foam or cork. The increment in the absorbed ...
Optimisation of Thin-Walled Hybrid Vertical Struts for Crashworthy Aircraft Designs
(Springer, 2020)
[Abstract] This research concerns the crashworthiness enhancement of a model of a Boeing 737-200 fuselage section. Using a validated numerical specimen, four thin-walled crushable hybrid energy absorbers are added to the ...
Crashworthiness Analysis and Enhancement of Aircraft Structures Under Vertical Impact Scenarios
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2020)
[Abstract] This research focuses on the crashworthiness study and enhancement of commercial aircraft
structures by developing crushable energy absorbers to work as vertical struts. To assess their
contribution on a ...
Multi-bubble scheme and structural analysis of a hypersonic stratospheric flight vehicle
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract:] The STRATOFLY MR3 vehicle is the main objective of the STRATOFLY project, which aims to develop a hypersonic air breathing concept capable of covering antipodal routes in less than three hours. The aircraft ...
