Recently, bionic thin-walled structures have attracted widespread attention in automotive safety design because of their excellent crashworthiness behavior and weight efficiency. In this paper, inspired by the evolution laws and microstructure of plant stems, a group of bionic tubes with m parts and n layers (PmLnBTs) are proposed and investigated by theoretical prediction and numerical analysis. Theoretical models of PmLnBTs are developed to predict the specific energy absorption. Finite element model is conducted with LS-DYNA and validated by a quasi-static axial crushing experiment. The accuracy of the theoretical model is verified by numerical analysis, and the maximum relative error is less than 7%. Furthermore, parametric studies are conducted to investigate the effects of geometric parameters on the energy absorption capability of PmLnBTs. The results indicate that the PmLnBTs exhibit superior crashworthiness performance compared to traditional bi-tubular circle tubes. Moreover, when designing such a bionic energy absorber, it can effectively improve the crashworthiness performance by appropriately increasing the number of layers, reducing the outermost circle diameter or avoiding innermost circle diameter value too large or too small. The findings of this paper provide a guidance for the design of energy absorber with excellent energy absorption performance.
