Abstract
The finite element package ABAQUS (standard implicit) is
used to investigate the response characteristics of a
corrugated pipe subjected to static or impactive axial
loading. The pipe specimen consists of three convolute
sections. The tube profile has alternating matched semicircular
concave and convex segments. An axisymmetric
shell element model is used. One case of static axial
compressive loading loading is investigated. For dynamic
axial impactive loading, several examples are studied in
which the impacting kinetic energy is kept constant but
where the input momentum varies. The suitability of the
tube as an energy absorbing safety device is discussed.
