Finite element modeling of energy absorption characteristic of hybrid structure - composite wrapped on a square metal tube

The study of axial crush behavior of metal and composite tube has become a basis for the design of crashworthy structure in automotive and aircraft applications. Unlike metals, polymer composite material displays little or no plastic deformation characteristics. Research has showed that the hybrid t...
