Abstract
The energy absorption characteristics of graphite/epoxy tubes of circular cross sections, subjected to quasi-static axial compression, were experimentally investigated. Tubes with chamfered-ends, inward-folding or outward-splaying crush-caps, or combined (chamfered-end and crush-cap) failure trigger mechanisms, were investigated to identify the optimal configuration that would result in the lowest initial peak load while providing the highest...
