Active control of passive safety in passenger motor vehicles : a feasibility study investigating dynamic denting of members using pyrotechnic devices

This report describes a feasibility study investigating dynamic denting of members using pyrotechnic devices to engineer favourable energy absorption characteristics into thin walled tubes. A tube of sufficiently low slenderness ratio and wall thickness, when loaded axially to failure, will collapse...
