Energy absorption capability of thin-walled aluminium tubes under crash loading
(
Universiti Malaysia Pahang
, 2015 , Article)
This paper investigates the interaction of design factors such as tube thickness, tube length, and tube cross-sectional aspect ratio, along with friction and impacting mass on crashworthiness parameters such as specific ...
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). ...
