“…Ahmad et al 90) studied the crush response and energy absorption capacity of FML thin-walled tubes and compared them with Al and composite tubes. Results indicated that FML tubes were favored as impact energy absorbers because they could sustain greater impact loads, therefore absorbing more energy.…”

“…The most tested FML structures were in form of tubes (circular/cylindrical, square). The influence of FML's constituents (composite and metal alloy), fibre orientation, stacking sequence, metal arrangement and laminate thickness played a role in determining the crushing behavior and improving the crush stability and energy absorption of FML structures 41,46,81,[87][88][89][90][91][92]95) . The FML structure had better crushing strength compared to the metal structure [94][95][96] .…”

Fibre metal laminate (FMLs) are hybrid composite materials which consisted of metallic layers and fibre-reinforced polymer. Currently, FMLs are becoming increasingly utilized in a wide range of applications, such as aircraft, automotive, marine, sporting goods and medical due to their specific mechanical properties like superior impact resistance and fatigue resistance. ARALL (Aramid-Reinforced Aluminium Laminate), which is based on aramid fibres, GLARE (Glass Reinforced Aluminium Laminate), which is based on high-strength glass fibres and CARALL (Carbon Reinforced Aluminium Laminate), which is based on carbon fibres, are the most commercial products FMLs. This article analyzes pertinent literature associated with experimental work on FMLs and their constituent materials subjected to impact loading. It reviewed the mechanical properties, impact performance indices, crushing behavior, failure modes, and failure mechanisms of various FML structures with different variables (impact energy, fibre orientation, layup configuration, stacking sequence, metal arrangement, direction and type of reinforcement, laminate thickness, metal thickness) under impact conditions (lateral and axial impacts). Overall, the literature on the response of FML flat plate structures to axial impact loads is unreported, and the most current research focusing on the axial crushing of FML tubes. Hence, further studies are required to increase the applicability of FMLs in applications that may be impacted under axial loading.

“…Many researchers have also used hybrid structures that include both types of material, i.e. metallic and composites, to absorb a greater amount of energy such as composite wrapped thin-walled metal tubes or tubes reinforced with externally bonded fibres [9], [8], [10], [11], [12], [13], and [14]. The hybrid structures combine the desirable properties of each material, the high ratio of strength to weight of the composites and ductility and stable plastic deformation mode of the metals [11].…”

Over the past several decades, a noticeable amount of research efforts has been directed to minimising injuries and death to people inside a structure that is subjected to an impact loading.\ud \ud Thin-walled (TW) tubular components have been widely employed in energy absorbing structures to alleviate the detrimental effects of an impact loading during a collision event and thus enhance the crashworthiness performance of a structure.\ud \ud Comprehensive knowledge of the material properties and the structural behaviour of various TW components under various loading conditions is essential for designing an effective energy absorbing system.\ud \ud In this paper, based on a broad survey of the literature, a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in the area of crashworthiness performance of TW tubes is given with a special focus on the topics that emerged in the last ten years such as crashworthiness optimisation design and energy absorbing responses of unconventional TW components including multi-cells tubes, functionally graded thickness tubes and functionally graded foam filled tubes.\ud \ud Due to the huge number of studies that analysed and assessed the energy absorption behaviour of various TW components, this paper presents only a review of the crashworthiness behaviour of the components that can be used in vehicles structures including hollow and foam-filled TW tubes under lateral, axial, oblique and bending loading

In this study, the axial crushing behavior of aluminum/carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) hybrid tubes are systematically investigated numerically based on a three‐dimensional (3D) progressive damage model. Experiments concerning hybrid tubes with 1/1 and 2/1 lay‐up configurations are performed first to validate the numerical model. Then, the effects of chamfer at the end, stacking configuration, aluminum‐CFRP bonding state and thickness ratio of individual layers on the energy absorption characteristics of aluminum/CFRP tubes are further numerically analyzed. The simulation results suggest that the 3D progressive damage model can effectively simulate the crushing failure process and reveal the energy dissipation mechanism of aluminum/CFRP hybrid tube under crushing. It is observed that increasing the thickness of the CFRP layer does not promote the energy absorption, but the best energy absorption effect can be obtained by using a 1:1 ratio for the thicknesses of the inner and outer aluminum alloy layers in 2/1 hybrid tube. Finally, the economic performance of 2/1 hybrid tube, 1/1 hybrid tube, and aluminum alloy tube as energy‐absorbing structures is theoretically examined. The balance between mass and cost of the 2/1 hybrid tube is proven to be evidently better than that of the conventional 1/1 hybrid tube.
