A novel corrugated carbon-fiber composite tube with circular corrugations on the lateral surface for crashworthiness: Manufacturing method, experimental and numerical analysis
Abstract:A novel design and method of manufacture of laterally corrugated composite tube is proposed. One of the main issues with studying such corrugated composite tubes has been taking out the mandril from the composite specimens, leading to very little, if any, experimental research into this subject. Therefore, as the main novelty of this paper, a multi-step process has been thoroughly explained to overcome these manufacturing challenges, i.e., the use of ABS corrugated mandrels, silicone molds, wax mandrels, filam… Show more
