Axial and Lateral Quasi-Static Crushing Behaviour of Segmented and Non-Segmented Composite Tubes

Considerable research interest has been directed towards the use of composite for crashworthiness applications, because they can be designed to provide impact energy absorption capabilities which are superior to those of metals when compared on weight basis. The use of composite circular tubes i...

description Considerable research interest has been directed towards the use of composite for crashworthiness applications, because they can be designed to provide impact energy absorption capabilities which are superior to those of metals when compared on weight basis.

This work examines the effect of segmentation on the crushing behaviour, energy absorption and failure mode of composite circular tubes. The segmented composite tube consists of more than one material, each with its own specific functions. Through out this study, segmented and non segmented composite tubes with different sequences were experimentally investigated under axial and lateral loading conditions. The effect of fibre reinforcement type and segments sequence on energy absorption and load carrying capacity were also presented and discussed.
