  • Based on the hybrid cross-section design, 10 kinds of cross-section design of star-shaped hybrid multi-cell tube (SHMT) were proposed. The crashworthiness of SHMT under multiple impact angles was studied by numerical simulation. It is found that the connection mode of hybrid cross-section and the number of polygonal edges N have important influences on the energy absorption of SHMT. Under axial impact, SHMT with vertex connection (SHMT-V) is more sensitive to N. The specific absorption energy of octagonal SHMT-V (SHMT-V8) reaches 24.31 J/g, which is 71.86% higher than that of quadrangular SHMT-V (SHMT-V4). SHMT with midpoint connection (SHMT-M) has stronger mechanical response, and its crushing force is more than 30% higher than that of SHMT-V. Under oblique impact, the load-carrying capacity of SHMT decreases with the increase of the impact angle, and the crashworthiness of SHMT shows great uncertainty. Technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution method (TOPSIS) was used to evaluate the crashworthiness of SHMT. The results show that SHMT-M8 is the optimal cross-section design. The research results of this paper can provide guidance for practical application and crashworthiness optimization design of thin-walled structures.
