Abstract
Braided composites tubes have been reported to have a great potential in crash energy absorption applications. However, previous works were limited to thermoset braided composite tubes. In this study, we are interest in the crash energy absorption performance of 2.5D braided thermoplastic composite tubes. The sensitivity to materials, fiber orientation and geometry was investigated. Three crushing modes have observed. The splaying and...
