Configurational optimization of multi-cell topologies for multiple oblique loads

Multi-cell thin-walled structures exhibit significant advantages in maximizing energy absorption and minimizing mass during vehicle crashes. Since the topological distribution of wall members has an appreciable effect on the crashworthiness, their design signifies an important area of research. As a...
