Abstract
Design, analysis, and assessment of energy absorbers
Highlights
Energy absorption is a very important topic which relates to a wide spectrum of engineering problems, including impact and crashworthiness analysis, engineering design, materials science, renewable energy technology, and injury mechanism
The development of new materials and advanced experimental and numerical methods have led to revolutionary changes in areas related to energy absorption, such as the design of structures or new materials with enhanced energy absorption capacity under various loading conditions and the development of a combined experimental–computational approach in energy absorption modeling and analysis
In order to present the most novel developments in the research fields related to energy absorption, we have organized the Special Collection ‘‘Design, Analysis, and Assessment of Energy Absorbers.’’ Seven papers are included in this collection, and the selected papers cover the following topics: the capacity of hierarchical honeycombs in absorbing crushing energy, the application of composite structures in electric light vehicles as energy absorbers to provide protection for pedestrians, variational mode decomposition in energy harvesting and distribution, the design of linear electromagnetic electric generator for harvesting vibration energy, crashworthiness optimum design of mini-bus body structures, and application of a combined experimental–numerical approach in structure–water interaction and wave energy technology
