This investigation is concerned with the plastic collapse of a tapered thin-walled metal inverbuckle energy absorbing tube, known as an inverbucktube, subjected to axial impact. The collapse mechanism perceived is achieved when the tube is subjected to dynamic loading at speeds up to 8 ms− 1. An approximate theoretical prediction for the energy absorption and inverbuckling load of the identified plastic deformation processes encountered in the collapse mechanism is developed. The predicted specific energies and loads of collapse modes are found to be in good agreement when compared with the experimental results. Also presented herein are the limits in which an inverbuckling collapse mode is guaranteed and shows collapse behaviour dependency on the geometry factor, D ̄ 2t A.
