Abstract

This paper presents results of quasi-static and dynamic axial collapse tests on extruded 6061T6, 6063T6, 6005A thick aluminum prismatic tubes. The force-shortening curves from experiments are compared with those calculated using explicit code and CRASH CAD. The estimate of the maximum crippling force is expressed as a function of section geometry and material property by using dimensional analysis. The approximate results of dimensional analysis are in good agreement with the experiments.
