“…In contrast to the metal tubes, Very few studies [15][16][17][18] have been conducted on composite tubes with foam-filler material. Guden et al [16] studied the effect of aluminium closed-cell foam filling on the quasi-static crushing behaviour of E-glass woven fabric polyester composite tubes and thin-walled aluminium/glass polyester composite hybrid tubes. They concluded that the foam filling of hybrid tubes resulted into an axial splitting of the outer composite tubes due to the resistance imposed by the aluminium tube.…”

This paper presents the quasi-static crushing performance of nine different geometrical shapes of smallscale glass/polyester composite tubes filled with polyurethane closed-cell foam for use in sacrificial cladding structures. The effect of polyurethane foam on the crushing characteristics and the corresponding energy absorption is addressed for each geometrical shape of the composite tube. Composite tubes with two different thicknesses (1 mm and 2 mm) have been considered to study the influence of polyurethane foam on the crushing performance. From the present study, it was found that the presence of polyurethane foam inside the composite tubes suppressed the circumferential delamination process and fibre fracturing; consequently, it reduced the specific energy absorption of composite tubes. Furthermore, the polyurethane foam attributed to a higher peak crush load for each composite tube. However, the presence of polyurethane foam inside the composite tubes significantly increased the stability of the crushing phenomena especially for the square and hexagonal cross sectional composite tubes with 1 mm wall thickness. The results from this study are compared with our previous results for composite tubes without polyurethane foam [1].

“…Indeed, this ductile failure mode was usually found in the steel tubes filled with [19,20]. In addition, it was also observed in the effect of Al closed foam filling on the quasi-static crushing behavior of an E-glass woven fabric polyester composite tube, and the results indicated that Al foam filling stabilized the composite progressive crushing model [21].…”

Compared to the composite thin-walled tube, the composite foam sandwich pipe has better local flexural rigidity, which can take full advantage of the high strength of composite materials. In this paper, a series of composite foam sandwich pipes with different parameters were designed and manufactured using the prefabricated polyurethane foam coreskin co-curing molding technique with E-glass fabric prepreg. The corresponding axial-load compressive tests were conducted to investigate the influence factors that experimentally determine the axial compressive performances of the tubes. In the tests, the detailed failure process and the corresponding load-displacement characteristics were obtained; the influence rules of the foam core density, surface layer thickness, fiber ply combination and end restraint on the failure modes and ultimate bearing capacity were studied. Results indicated that: (1) the fiber ply combination, surface layer thickness and end restraint have a great influence on the ultimate load bearing capacity; (2) a reasonable fiber ply combination and reliable interfacial adhesion not only optimize the strength but also transform the failure mode from brittle failure to ductile failure, which is vital to the fully utilization of the composite strength of these composite foam sandwich pipes.

“…It was reported that CFRP provides restraints to the development of elastic buckling deflection which results into delay in local buckling of the material. Guden et al [56] conducted an experimental investigation to check the effect of Al closed-cell foam filling on the quasi-static crushing behavior of an E-glass woven fabric composite and Al metal/composite hybrid tubes. They observed two types of crushing mode, namely progressive and catastrophic.…”

Abstract. Collapsible impact energy absorbers play an important role of protecting automotive components from damage during collision. Collision of the two objects results into the damage to one or both of them. Damage may be in the form of crack, fracture and scratch. Designers must know about how the material and object behave under impact event. Owing to above reasons different types of collapsible impact energy absorbers are developed. In the past different studies were undertaken to improve such collapsible impact energy absorbers .This article highlights such studies on common shapes of collapsible impact energy absorber and their impact behaviour under the axial compression. The literature based on studies and analyses of effects of different geometrical parameters on the crushing behaviour of impact energy absorbers is presented in detail. The energy absorber can be of different shape such as circular tube, square tube, and frustums of cone and pyramids. The crushing behaviour of energy absorbers includes studies on crushing mechanics, modes of deformation, energy absorbing capacity, effect on peak and mean crushing load. In this work efforts are made to cover major outcomes from past studies on such behavioural parameters. Even though the major literature reviewed is related to metallic energy absorbers, emphasis is also laid on covering literature on use of composite tube, fiber metal lamination (FML) member, honeycomb plate and functionally graded thickness (FGT) tube as a collapsible impact energy absorber.
