摘要：A crash box design is developed to enhance the?crash box’s abilities to absorb crash energy. Previous research has developed the crash box by adding filler material. Adding the filling material to the crash box will increase energy absorption. Aluminum honeycomb has a combination of lightweight mass and an ability to absorb crash energy. The addition of filler material to the crash box will also reduce the possibility of global bending in the crash box. The method of study is a computer simulation using ANSYS Academic software ver 18.1. This research used circular, square and hexagonal cross-section variations, which reached the same cross-sectional area design. Geometry model for the crash box and honeycomb filler is defined as crash box thickness (tc) 1.6?mm, honeycomb filler thickness (t) 0.5?mm for single layer and 1?mm for double layer and crash box length (l) 120?mm. The materials used were AA6063-T6 for crash boxes and AA3003 for honeycomb fillers. The test model consisted of two types, namely frontal load and oblique load test. The impactor velocity (v) is set to 15?m/s. The impactor and the fixed support are modeled as a rigid body, while the crash box is assumed as an elastic body. Observations were done by using the characteristics of deformation pattern and the absorption amount of produced energy due to the given loading model. Based on the deformation pattern results, it can be found that in the crash box model with square and hexagon honeycomb filler, the occurred deformation pattern was concertina, while the crash box with circular honeycomb filler was the mixed mode in the frontal load test. Regarding the oblique loads, the crash box remains to collapse the global bending on all models. Simulation results with the frontal load test model found that the crash box with circle-shaped honeycomb has the highest energy absorption while the crash box with hexagonal honeycomb filler has the highest Specific Energy Absorption (SEA). In the oblique load test, it was found that the crash box with hexagonal honeycomb filler has the highest energy absorption and SEA. By comparing the hexagonal crash box model with and without honeycomb filler, it is noted that the hexagonal crash box with honeycomb filler has higher Crash Force Efficiency.
