Experimental analysis of additively manufactured thin-walled heat-treated circular tubes with slits using AlSi10Mg alloy by quasi-static axial crushing test by Mohamed A.S.

“…The bulk of the tested tubes exhibited a crushing force efficiency greater than 0.8. Overall, the presence of slits with length 15 mm and width 5 mm resulted in lower and smoother crushing forces than the straight tubes and, therefore, greater crushing force efficiency, validating them as crashworthy structures.…”
