Abstract

This report documents the quasi-static and dynamic (impact) testing program conducted at the University of Cambridge in England. Over forty individual tests were run ranged from the quasi-static loading of single steel tubes to the impact loading of complete systems. All tests were conducted with mild steel seamless tubing. The experiments demonstrate the feasibility of conducting full-scale crash tests on clusters of steel tubes as stationary impact attenuating devices.
