The effect of fiber orientation on the energy absorption capability of axially crushed composite tubes
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Technical Report)
An experimental investigation to optimize the absorbed energy of axially crushed composite collapsible tubular energy absorber devices was carried out. Different fiber orientation were used in this study (0/90, 15/−75, ...
Crushing behavior of hybrid hexagonal/octagonal cellular composite system: All made of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Cellular carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites, either unfilled or filled with foam, may be of interest for energy absorption application due to their improved crashworthiness. In the current paper, new ...
Crushing behavior of hybrid hexagonal/octagonal cellular composite system: Aramid/carbon hybrid composite
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
In the current paper a series of experiments were conducted to assess the crashworthiness of cellular hexagonal/octagonal composite device. Each device composed of 6 cells of carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP). ...
