Airplanes are inevitably subjected to various impact loading conditions in the event of
emergency landing. An airplane crash scenario is a complex nonlinear impact event which …

Based on the conventional star-shaped tube, a star-shaped multicellular tube was proposed
and designed; finite element modeling was carried out using Abaqus/Explicit software, and …

The metal hybrid method can effectively solve the problem of low energy absorption
efficiency of CFRP under lateral crushing load, and the application prospect of the hybrid …

Different structural parameters and interlaminar damage will have significant effects on the
crushing performance of metal-composite hybrid structures. A hybrid gradient structure is …

The metal/CFRP energy-absorbing tube is a lightweight structure with high energy
absorption efficiency, but a reasonable design strategy is essential to give full play to the …

In order to fully utilize the energy absorption potential of hybrid structure composed of
multiple materials, a variable thickness Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic/aluminum …

Damage can limit the material and structure to perform as designed. To investigate the effect
of damage present at the Al and carbon layers in Al/CFRP hybrid thin-walled tubes, a …

The CFRP/Al hybrid multi-cell tubes have an excellent energy absorption performance
under axial crushing loading. This paper creatively proposes a theoretical analysis model to …

Inspired by the cross-sectional view of leaf tissue, a bidirectional gradient hierarchical
double tube (BGHDT) was proposed and its crashworthiness performance was investigated …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer is an effective solution for replacing metal materials and
achieving lightweight, and both three‐dimensional (3‐D) braided composites and prepreg …
