Cemal £¿AKIR %J - %D 2019 %X In this study, firstly, compression tests of aluminium foam material were carried out to determine its constitutive material model. This model was then utilized in virtual crash tests of crash-boxes filled with various percentages of aluminium foam. The results were compared with those of the empty crash-boxes to evaluate their mechanical performances. It was observed that the foam-filled crash-boxes exhibited superior properties of plateau force, impact duration, deformation behaviour and energy absorption, which get better by the increasing foam percentage %K Al¨¹minyum k£¿p¨¹k %K £¿arp£¿£¿ma-kutusu %K darbe enerjisi emilimi %K sonlu elemanlar y£¿ntemi %U http://dergipark.org.tr/baunfbed/issue/43927/547179
