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 …

This work aimed to investigate progressive collapse behaviors and mechanisms of the 3D
printed thin-walled composite structures under quasi-static compression and dynamic …

In this paper, multi-cell filled thin-walled structures were proposed and prepared using fused
deposition modeling by carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide. All structures had the same …

This study aims to explore the crushing behavior of aluminum (AL)-carbon fiber reinforced
plastic (CFRP) tubes with different hybrid configurations subjected to quasi-static and …

The choice for a proper external trigger and fiber hybridization configuration has a significant
impact on the stability of the crushing process and material cost for composite structures in …

A multiscale modeling framework including microscale, mesoscale and macroscale models,
is developed to investigate the low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression after impact (CAI) …

The metal origami tubes which are employed as energy absorption devices have been
widely studied. Because the tubes can deform in a high-performance diamond mode (DM) …

A multi-scale simulation framework based on finite element method is developed to model
the impact failure behavior of triaxially braided composite. The model integrates …

Metal‐composite hybrid thin‐walled tube has been widely studied due to its excellent
lightweight characteristics and crashworthiness. In particular, there are few reports on the …
