Numerical modelling and experimental validation of the crushing behaviour and energy absorption characteristics of CFRP structural assemblies
Composite thin-walled structures subjected to crushing loads exhibit complex damage evolution and energy dissipation mechanisms, and their energy-absorbing capabilities are critical to the development of crashworthy designs. CFRP support-column assemblies, which function as major energy absorbers in aircraft subfloor s...
