Crushing responses and energy absorption behaviors of multi-cell CFRP tubes

Design of multi-cell sectional configuration has been considered an effective way to enhance the crashworthiness performance of metallic thin-walled structure. Nevertheless, it remains under-studied whether this approach can achieve similar effect for fiber reinforced composite structures. Therefore, this paper aims to study the crushing responses and energy absorption behaviors of multi-cell squared carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) tubes...
