Abstract:Crash boxes are energy absorbing components generally placed at the front end of cars to reduce the amount of damage at especially low impact velocities. The number of electric vehicles has been increasing recently, so weight reduction studies are. For this reason, lighter glass or carbon fiber reinforced composite crash boxes are preferred instead of steel ones. In the current study, the dynamic compression behavior of a rectangular cross-section thin-walled composite crash box was investigated both experimen… Show more
