Abstract:In order to improve the crashworthiness of a rectangular energy-absorbing tube for subway trains, one set of its symmetry faces was set with tapers and the diaphragms were embedded inside the tube. The crashworthiness of this double-tapered rectangular tube with diaphragms (DTRTD) and a traditional rectangular tube was compared through their finite element models which were validated by a quasi-static axial compression test. The thicknesses of three components of DTRTD were set as three design variables. The design of experiment was created and the surrogate model was established. Multi-objective optimization was performed to maximize the specific energy absorption and minimize the peak crushing force. The results showed that the collapse pattern of DTRTD is regular and stable and the crashworthiness of DTRTD is better than the traditional rectangular tube. Two objectives of optimization are paradoxical. After distributing weights to optimization objectives based on practical engineering, the optimal designs from the Pareto front can be selected through the weight function.
