CASE STUDY

Railway-vehicles crashes: A study on energy absorbers in offset conditions

This study by Hitachi Rail investigates how various designs of energy absorbers perform under offset collision conditions in railway vehicles. Using finite element simulations (240 in total), the research explores different absorber geometries—such as thin-walled multi-cell and bi-tubular structures—and analyses how factors like thickness, shape, and cross-sectional dimensions affect energy dissipation.
