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

The enhancement of fuel economy and the emission of greenhouse gases are the key
growing challenges around the globe that drive automobile manufacturers to produce …

Thin-walled hollow structures capable of large plastic deformations are ubiquitously present
in sacrificial, high-capacity energy absorbers. A significant challenge in the field of structural …

At present, one of the promising solutions to the energy crisis and environmental protection
is to widely use pure electric vehicles (PEV). It is noted that lack of range limits the wide use …

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 …

This article investigates the influence of adding halloysite nanoclay (HNC), montmorillonite
clay (MC), alumina (Al2O3), silica (SiO2), and silicon carbide (SiC) nanofillers on the …

This paper investigates the crashworthiness performance of square pipes with induced
holes. Glass reinforced epoxy (GFRP) specimens were fabricated and tested under quasi …

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 …

The crashworthy ability of glass/epoxy (GFRP) square tubes with induced holes was studied
under quasi‐static axial crashing. Four design parameters were chosen, each at three …

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