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

It is widely known that the demand for lightweight structures with excellent energy absorption
capacity is paramount in numerous engineering applications. Many publications have …

This paper aims to optimize the crashworthiness capability of glass-reinforced epoxy
composites (GFRE) over wrapped polyvinyl chloride (PVC) circular tubes with cutouts. The …

The goal of this work is to experimentally explore the crashworthiness performance and the
deformation history of hybrid thin‐walled composite tubes. Glass (G)/carbon (C) reinforced …

Thin-walled structures made of lightweight materials, eg aluminum, fiber reinforced
composites, have been increasingly used as energy absorption structures in vehicles. This …

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 …

It is advised to add cuts as circular holes to constructions' walls for technical requirements
such as the assembly and to reduce the weight. Since these induced cutouts have a …

In this article, the performance of transversely loaded glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRE)
tubular components containing carbon nanopowder (CNP) in terms of crashworthiness was …

Improving the crashworthiness performance of thin-walled tubes is of vital significance for
vehicle safety because thin-walled tubes are the most common and economical energy …

This paper investigates the crashworthiness performance of square pipes with induced
holes. Glass reinforced epoxy (GFRP) specimens were fabricated and tested under quasi …
