Experimental Study on the Lateral Compression Energy Absorption Characteristics of Hexagonal Steel Tube Filled with Polyurethane Foam

Article Preview

Abstract:

From the previous researches, the author of this paper finds that the steel tube with the hexagonal section under the lateral compression has a good energy absorption property. In order to further enhance the energy absorption of the steel tube with the hexagonal section, this paper develops the polyurethane foam filled hexagonal steel tube, and through experiment, studies its characteristics of lateral compression energy absorption, and makes the comparative analysis against the hollow hexagonal steel tube. The results show that the hexagonal section steel tube filled with polyurethane foam has substantially growth in both the loads of the yield platform and the energy absorption capability.
