“…Sun et al, 2022 [26] recommended GFRB wrapped CFS column for energy absorption structure due to its high energy absorption when compared to unwrapped section. The energy absorption capacity was found to depend on the cross-section geometry of the column [26,27]. The current study showed that wrapping of CFS column with naturally available latex also increases energy absorption and stiffness.…”

This paper reports the experimental investigation conducted on unwrapped and latex wrapped cold-formed steel column. Various column cross-sections are subjected to repeated lateral loading till failure. All the columns were observed to fail in local buckling. The column cross-section dimension, provision of interior and exterior lip, and the latex wrapping of the columns influenced the lateral load to failure. Increasing the web length of a column section from 100 to 200 mm increased the load-carrying capacity of the column by 70 to 100 %. The local buckling was initiated in the flange portion of the column. The column section with no lip and interior lip exhibited inward buckling of the flange. The column with exterior lip exhibited outward buckling. The provision of lip and latex wrapping did not influence the initial load-displacement behavior of the columns. However, it increased the load-carrying capacity of the sections. Energy absorption index and ductility factor were calculated and the effect of latex wrapping of the columns on these parameters was evident.

“…Moreover, the manufacturing process of composite tubes is much easier than the metal forming process. Although many investigations have been carried out on the improvement of the crashworthiness of composite tubes, less attention has been paid to the high price of raw materials and manufacturing costs [ 12 , 13 ].…”

The crashworthiness of composite tubes is widely examined for various types of FRP composites. However, the use of hybrid composites potentially enhances the material characteristics under impact loading. In this regard, this study used a combination of unidirectional glass–carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin as the hybrid composite tube fabricated by the pultrusion method. Five tubes with different length aspect ratios were fabricated and tested, in which the results demonstrate “how structural energy absorption affects by increasing the length of tubes”. Crash force efficiency was used as the criterion to show that the selected L/D are acceptable of crash resistance with 95% efficiency. Different chamfering shapes as the trigger mechanism were applied to the tubes and the triggering effect was examined to understand the impact capacity of different tubes. A finite element model was developed to evaluate different crashworthiness indicators of the test. The results were validated through a good agreement between experimental and numerical simulations. The experimental and numerical results show that hybrid glass/carbon tubes accomplish an average 25.34 kJ/kg specific energy absorption, average 1.43 kJ energy absorption, average 32.43 kN maximum peak load, and average 96.67% crash force efficiency under quasi-static axial loading. The results show that selecting the optimum trigger mechanism causes progressive collapse and increases the specific energy absorption by more than 35%.

Researchers who work on manufacturing hybrid composites have significant concerns about holistically optimizing more than one performance characteristic, as in the case of cost and quality optimization. They usually trade off one for the other. Hence, this study employed statistical tools and grey relational analyses (GRA) design to model and optimize the surface roughness and cutting force of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine settings to manufacture halloysite nanotube hybrid composite. In this paper, the GRA was able to address the multiple optimization complications by producing 0.6 mm depth of cut, 1500 rpm spindle speed, and 40 mmpm feed rate as the CNC machine settings for high-quality and low-cost hybrid composite. It was noticed that the mathematical and interaction modeling of surface roughness, cutting force, and grey relational grade (GRG) allowed different CNC machines to manufacture hybrid composites. This can assist researchers and production engineers of CNC machines. Variance analysis and delta statistical characteristics revealed that the depth of a cut is the most significant machine setting, with a contribution of 49.12%. This paper outlines the possible CNC machine settings for high-quality composite manufacturing. In future studies, it is recommended for researchers in the field of CNC machine manufacturing to consider the modeling analysis aspect of the optimization, which comprehensively provides the opportunity for the adjustment of CNC machines for better material performance, which has been lacking in the literature.
