Abstract

This report is focused on study the energy absorption on the triangular ring subjected to transverse loading. It is also concerned to the application of the energy absorption device in daily life. Commonly the energy absorption device was used in vehicle where the collision always occurs. There are several types of vehicle was used energy absorption device such as in car, train, submarine and also the helicopter. This device was used to reduce the impact load and it converted the kinetic energy into elastic energy (solids), pressure energy (fluid) and plastic and elastic energy (deformable solids). Besides, the selection of the material is important, so the hardness testing experiment is used to define the mechanical properties on the specimen. The approximation value of the ultimate stress is taken because to define the ultimate stress accurately, tensile testing must be used. The specimen has to be shaped by using bending machine and welding process. The technical drawing is draw by using the Solid Work software to make the works easier. Besides, the compression test was conducted to obtained value of energy absorption. On the other hand, the analysis was prepared using ABAQUS software. Furthermore, the load-displacement trend in experiment and computer simulation is compared.
