This document summarizes research on the inward inversion of metallic shell structures with various geometric features for energy absorption applications. Experiments were conducted using an Instron testing machine to apply loads and measure force-displacement responses for aluminum shell samples with different shapes, wall thicknesses, steps, and curvatures. Finite element simulations of the inversion process matched well with experimental force-displacement graphs and stress distributions. Key findings include frusta with 6-7 degree angles absorbed the most energy, while steps and uneven curvatures reduced energy absorption and caused unstable force responses. Thicker shells and straighter top portions also improved energy absorption performance during inversion.
