Over the past several decades, a noticeable amount of research efforts has been directed to
minimising injuries and death to people inside a structure that is subjected to an impact …

Thin-walled hollow structures capable of large plastic deformations are ubiquitously present
in sacrificial, high-capacity energy absorbers. A significant challenge in the field of structural …

The effect of inducing circular holes into aluminum wrapped with glass/epoxy (Al/GFRP)
pipes was investigated. Intact and holed specimens were evaluated in quasi-static axial …

Honeycombs are widely used in engineering protections due to desirable crashworthiness.
However, the gap between peak and mean stresses remains to be narrowed, and effect of …

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 …

The crashworthy ability of glass/epoxy (GFRP) square tubes with induced holes was studied
under quasi‐static axial crashing. Four design parameters were chosen, each at three …

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

Fiber reinforced plastics can absorb energy, in the unlikely event of a crash, on the other
hand, foam improves the structural integrity of the device being filled with. Therefore, foam …

The crashworthiness performance and the deformation history of glass fiber reinforced
epoxy (GFRP) composite over wrapped aluminum (Al) cylinders with induced holes were …

This article investigates the crashworthiness performance of thin-walled glass/epoxy (GFRP)
square tubes with cutouts. Specimens were fabricated using wet wrap** process and …
