Abstract

A novel rectangular tube with circumferential anti-symmetric local self-surface nanocrystallization (CALSSN) layouts is designed for energy absorption. The effects of stripe numbers on the energy absorption performance is investigated. Results reveal that the 8-stripe CALSSN model exhibits the best buckling modes, which is more regular and stable than the untreated ones. It is also found that the stripe numbers highly depend on the structural sizes, unsuitable stripes number may reduce the buckling stability and periodicity. Besides, five CALSSN models with stripe numbers from 6 to 10 are selected to find the optimized size which has the highest specific energy absorption (SEA). A new 7-stripe CALSSN model which has optimal buckling modes and energy absorption performance is achieved.
