Experimental study on crashworthiness of empty/aluminum foam/honeycomb-filled CFRP tubes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the crashworthiness of empty circular CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) with CFRP/aluminum/steel tubes filled with aluminum foam or aluminum honeycomb under axial quasi-static crushing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of the quasi-static axial crushing behavior of filament-wound CFRP and aluminum/CFRP hybrid tubes
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of winding angles (25°, 50°, 75°, 90°; the 0° winding angle is along the axial direction of the tube) and thicknesses (3-ply, 6ply, 9-ply) on crashworthiness characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) tube and aluminum/cFRP hybrid tube molded by the filament winding technique through quasi-static crushing tests were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and numerical investigation into the crashworthiness of metal-foam-composite hybrid structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed four different hybrid sandwich tubes and investigated their crashworthiness and performance to cost ratio under quasi-static axial condition, which provided a basis for further parametric analysis and structural optimization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crashworthiness of different composite tubes by experiments and simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of geometrical parameters, including intermediate diameter, wall thickness and upper end diameter, on the specific energy absorption (SEA) of composite tubes, metal tubes, foam-filled tubes and hybrid tubes was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study on metal/CFRP hybrid structures under static and dynamic loading
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of experimental tests are carried out to explore the crushing behaviors of hybrid tubes in comparison with the corresponding individual tubes made of single material, and numerical simulations are performed for the H-II hybrid tubes to provide further insights into their underlying energy-absorbing mechanisms.
