“…Different modes of crushing have been identified, such as splaying and fragmentation modes [20]. The crushing modes and consequently the specific energy absorption are dependent on multiple parameters such as the tube geometry [28][29][30][31][32], fiber type [33,34] and architecture [31,32], matrix resin [35], testing speed [32,36,37], temperature [38], trigger [39,40] and surface treatment [41]. Recently, Mahdi and Sebaey [42] have reported that radial reinforcements improve crashworthiness capabilities.…”
