Calculations
Q1. 999mm of wall thickness of steel design gives an average crush strength of 203.45 KN.
Q2. The image below shows the time history curve for the x-reaction forces of rigid walls made
of steel and aluminium.
Q3.
• Aluminium weight comparison
𝑣 = 𝐿 ∗ 𝐵 ∗ 𝐻 = 800 * (1802 -173.82) = 1.75e*06 mm3

M = 2.7𝑒 − 06 ∗ 1.75𝑒06 = 𝟒. 𝟑𝟕𝒌𝒈

• Steel weight comparison


𝑣 = 𝐿 ∗ 𝐵 ∗ 𝐻 = 800 * (1802 -176.0022) = 1.11e*06 mm3

𝑀 = 7.8𝑒 − 06 ∗ 1.1𝑒06 = 𝟖. 𝟔𝟖𝒌𝒈


𝑀𝐴𝐿𝑈 4.737
𝜂= = 8.685 = 0.54 = 54%
