The purpose of this work is to find the specific energy absorption (SEA) of a steel tube using ABAQUS/CAE V6.10. Crashworthiness of a structure is characterised by the absorbed more amount of energy while the structure is subjected to an impact. A material structure should safeguard the occupants during an impact. The specimen geometry, processing conditions, and testing speed are the dependent parameters of energy absorption. It aims to determine the generalized mathematical model to evaluate the SEA and also find the parameter that is most likely affects SEA. Simulations are also carried out in ABAQUS/CAE to validate the developed numerical analysis.
