Abstract

The paper presents an experimental study on the quasi-static lateral crush performance of metal–composite hybrid tubes containing a filament-wound E-glass fiber-reinforced epoxy over-wrap around cylindrical metal tubes. The quasi-static lateral crush resistance of the hybrid tubes is compared in terms of the maximum load, mean crush load, crush energy, and specific energy absorption. The deformation modes effect of these tubes is described by the arrangement of hybridization on crashworthiness parameters.
