The utilization of lightweight construction is one of the keys to increase the fuel efficiency
and reduce the environmental effect of automobiles. Natural fiber composites are replacing …

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 …

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are made by sandwiching a fiber-reinforced composite
between thin layers of metal. FMLs are modern materials utilized in the manufacture 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 energy absorption capability of laterally loaded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)
tubular components containing montmorillonite clay (MC) was explored in this article. GFRP …

Due to its exceptional mechanical and crashworthiness properties, lightweight
nanocomposites have recently been used more and more in aviation, defense, nautical, and …

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 …

The present paper experimentally explores the influence of the fiber hybridization and
layering sequence on crashworthiness behavior and deformation history of polymer/metal …

Reducing the risk and severity of injuries during collisions is achieved through the design of
crashworthy structures and systems within the vehicle. In this study, the crashworthiness …
