Abstract

The method for stabilizing the axial collapse of side rails in a progressive folding mode, in which more efficient crush energy absorption was insured than in a bending mode, was examined by crush tests of closed- hat section members. The tests have shown that the properly designed beading functions effectively and the critical collapse length of slant- mounted side rails could be estimated.
