Over the past few decades, there has been a constant pursuit for lightweight and high-
performance energy absorption structures and materials in automobiles, trains, ships …

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

Novel fiber-metal hybrid tubes with overlapped fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) and aluminum
layers were proposed in this paper. By combining progressive failure behavior of …

Thin-walled tube as an energy absorption device is indispensable in vehicles. Recently, the
crashworthiness performance of metal/carbon fiber reinforced polymer (metal/CFRP) hybrid …

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 …

Variable thickness hybrid square (VTHS) tubes which had variable thickness of CFRP to
achieve the variation of axial crushing performance are proposed. To study the crushing …

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

Compared with the excellent energy absorption performance under axial loading, thin-
walled tubes are vulnerable to unstable global bending under oblique loading. To improve …

This study aims to evaluate the crushing behaviour of aluminium-glass fibre reinforced
plastic (GFRP) with different layer configurations known as fibre metal laminate (FML) …
