Lightweight materials and structures have attracted tremendous interests for their compelling
advantages in a range of engineering problems that have placed heightened requirements …

Energy absorbing structures made from composite materials are lightweight, fuel
economical and environmentally friendly. In spite of these advantages, some issues have to …

To meet the growing demands for structural lightweight and safety, metal-foam-composite
hybrid tubular sandwich structures, which combine low-cost metallic materials and high …

The custom of hybridization fibre composite in energy absorption tube application has
gained the attention of structural crashworthiness in composite material industry. Thus, the …

This study aims to investigate 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, 6-ply, 9-ply) on …

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) have shown
great promise in the design of light-weight thin-walled energy absorbers. Herein, circular …

This work experimentally investigates the quasi‐static crush response and energy
absorption of glass‐reinforced epoxy thin‐walled crash box filled with nano‐aluminum oxide …

Abstract Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRPs) with light weights absorbed a large
quantity of energy through the progressive crushing modes by a combination of multi micro …

In this work, the effect of axial yarns on damage behavior of two-dimensional triaxially
braided composite (2DTBC) tubes subjected to axial compression was investigated. A novel …

Following a complaint received by the editors, it was found upon investigation that 14
citations were added to this paper at the author proof stage. In most cases the added …
