heal.abstract	Inextensional collapse mechanisms useful for design purposes, are proposed for the compressive axial crumpling of closed top-hat sections. A thermo-plastic model material was employed for experimental study and theoretical collapse modes based on the experimental observations were used for predicting mean crushing loads. The latter were compared with those obtained experimentally and agreement was found to be satisfactory.	en
