This paper presents a procedure whereby the energy absorbed by a spot-welded hat section under large deformation bending may be determined.
This study focuses on the optimal crashworthiness design of a spot-welded thin-walled hat section subject to an axial crushing force.
It also can be concluded that adding ribs can greatly improve the bending resistant performance for circular, rectangular and hat section beams, and the vertical ribs can achieve the best reinforce effect for the circular and rectangular section beams.
Using the hat section (closed section) gives more torsional rigidity and more effective plate allowing an increase of the stiffener spacing, hence a reduction in the number of stiffeners.
According to the finite element analysis and the theoretical modeling, when filled with foam, energy absorption was found to be increased both in the hat section and the foam filler, whereas the latter contributes predominantly to the interaction effect.
In order to study how geometry shapes affect the bending performance, the main geometry parameters such as radius/radius ratio of circular/ elliptical section, side length ratio of rectangular section, height and base angle of hat section were chosen as the design parameters.

Finally, ultimate compressive strength formulae are proposed for hat sections.
However, there exist obvious differences in the load displacement response between the bonded and unbonded hat sections.
Aluminum hat sections, either adhesively bonded or unbonded, experience buckling, post-buckling and plastic collapse when axially compressed.
According to the energy method and the superfolding element theory, the mean dynamic crushing loads of the aluminium foam-filled hat sections and the interactive effect between the aluminium foam and hat sections were theoretically predicted.
Experiments show that when adhesively bonded hat sections begin to buckle there is a transformation from the 1st buckling mode to the higher ones, while the unbonded hat sections develop the post-buckling based on the lowest buckling mode.
