Effect of Tubes Length and Annealing Temperature on Energy Absorption of Aluminium Alloy Tube 6061-T6 under Inversion Collapse Mode

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purposes of this study are to investigate the effect on variation of the specimens tube length and annealing temperature on the amount of energy absorption of Aluminium tubes (AA 6061) towards inversion collapse mode. The tests were performed on the Aluminium tubes using compression test according to ASTM E8 standard procedure. In this study, a quasi-static inversion tests were conducted in order to obtain the energy absorbed during inversion stages. It was found that the energy absorbed by Aluminium tubes were increased by increasing the tube length but decreased with annealing temperature.
