Axial crushing behavior and energy absorption efficiency of corrugated tubes
( Elsevier, Ltd , 2014 , Technical Report)This paper presents the effect of corrugations on the crushing behavior, energy absorption, and failure mode of circular aluminum tubes. Experimental investigations were carried out on five geometrical types of corrugated ... -
Crashworthiness of pre-impacted glass/epoxy composite tubes
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Conference Paper)Composite materials currently have several uses, including aeronautical, marine, and piping applications. Composites are well-known for their specific strength and stiffness; however, the tolerance of composites to ... -
Crushing behavior of a unit cell of CFRP lattice core for sandwich structures’ application
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)Sandwich structures made of composites are designed mainly for higher and efficient load capacity. Mostly, the use of composite materials in lattice core sandwich structures is limited to the face sheet; whereas, the core ... -
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). ... -
Energy absorption capabilities of complex thin walled structures
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2017 , Conference Paper)Thin walled structures have been used in the area of energy absorption during an event of a crash. A lot of work has been done on tubular structures. Due to limitation of manufacturing process, complex geometries were ... -
Filler strengthening of foam-filled energy absorption devices using CFRP beams
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)The crashworthiness of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) is attracting more interest as they are currently contributing to several industries. In the present study, internally strengthened foam-filled rectangular carbon fiber ...
