I'm attempting to increase the ability to absorb energy from impact. To answer Mike's concern, the tubing will be welded in place. For example purposes let's say the round tube is centered inside the square tube.
I'm reinforcing the chassis of a 67 Mustang with a hidden roll cage within the...
I need to calculate what percentage increase in impact strength I will get by inserting a 1" OD round tube with .083 wall inside a square 1 3/4" width tube with a .059 wall. Both are mild steel, ERW tubing.
Can anyone help in how to go about this ?
Thx.
