abstract="This paper deals with the implementation of FE code LS-DYNA to simulate the crush behaviour and energy absorption characteristics of foam-filled thin-walled steel rectangular tubes under quasi-static axial loading conditions. The obtained numerical results are compared with actual experimental data from small-scale models and satisfactory level of agreement between calculations and test results was obtained regarding the main crushing characteristics, crash energy absorption and overall crushing response.<p />",
