Abstract: In order to improve the dynamic bearing capacity and energy absorption characteristics of thin-walled structures, combined with the advantages of bending-dominant and tension-dominant structures, a kind of multi-cell thin-walled structure model was established in this paper. The dynamic collapse responses and specific energy absorption abilities of these multi-cell thin-wall structures were numerically investigated under different impact velocities by means of the explicit dynamic finite element analysis (EDFEA). The results showed that except for the impact velocity, the dynamic collapse behaviors of the multi-cell thin-wall tubes were also affected by the ribbed angle and the impacting angle. Under the conditions that the relative density and impact velocity were all the same, the dynamic bearing capacity of the multi-cell thin-wall tube was obviously higher than that of the empty tube. With the increase of the ribbed angles, the dynamic bearing characteristics and specific energy absorption abilities of the multi-cell tubes were improved obviously, and the impacting efficiency was also increased correspondingly. It should be noted that when the ribbed angle was greater than or equal to 45º, the variation of the specific energy absorption was no longer distinct. Moreover, the multi-cell circular tubes have the better crushing load uniformity.
