This paper presents the quasi-static crushing performance of nine different geometrical shapes of small-scale composite tubes. The idea is to understand the effect of geometry, dimension and triggering mechanism on the progressive deformation of small-scale composite tubes. Different geometrical shapes of the composite tubes have been manufactured by hand lay-up technique using uni-directional E-glass fabric (with single and double plies) and polyester resin. Dedicated quasi-static tests (144 tests) have been conducted for all nine geometrical shapes with different t/D (thickness to diameter) ratios and two triggering profiles (45 ⁰ chamfering and tulip pattern with an included angle of 90 ⁰ ). From this unique study, it was found that the crushing characteristics and the corresponding energy absorption of the special geometrical shapes are better than the standard geometrical shapes such as square and hexagonal cross sections. Furthermore, the tulip triggering attributed to a lower peak crush load followed by a steady mean crush load compared to the 45 ⁰ chamfering triggering profile which resulted into a higher energy absorption in most of the geometrical shapes of the composite tubes.

“…Moreover, geometric modification from a straight tube (S-tube) to a single-sided radial corrugated tube (SSC) has shown a desirable smooth load-displacement behavior with minimal fluctuations [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. The introduction of corrugations helped in directing the crushing energy to the corrugation trough.…”

To maximize the controllable energy absorption of corrugation troughs as observed in the single sided corrugated (SSC) tube, we proposed and tested a new structure design, i.e., double-sided corrugated (DSC) tube made of Al 6060-T6 aluminum alloy or CF1263 carbon/epoxy composite. Finite element models were developed to test the mechanical advantage of the DSC tube in comparison with both SSC and classical straight (S) tubes under axial crushing. Results have shown that the total absorbed energy of the DSC aluminum tube with 14 corrugations was 330% and 32% higher than that of the SSC tube with 14 corrugations and the S-tube, respectively. The initiation and progression of the crushing process for different tube configurations were characterized, leading to the mechanism of energy absorption. Plastic deformation in terms of PPEQ is the key parameter correlating with the energy absorption capacity. To overcome the lower specific absorbed energy (SAE) in the DSC tube compared to that in the S-tube, the CF1263 carbon/ epoxy composite laminate was adopted and the corresponding SAE was 5.9 times higher than that of the aluminum one. Moreover, the influence of the number of corrugations on the crushing behaviors of the DSC tube was also digitalcommons.unl.edu M o z a f a r i e t a l . i n C o m p o s i t e s P a r t B 1 3 4 ( 2 0 1 8 ) 2 inspected. A minimal straight tube section was suggested for a controllable smooth crushing behavior regardless of its advantage in SAE. This work might shed light on designing future thin-walled energy absorber devices with better control of crushing behaviors for minimal injuries and damages.
