“…It is well-known that fiber delamination or breakage (catastropic failure) may cause a rapid decrease in energy absorption capacity [6,7]. From an energy absorption point of view, a thin-walled tube should collapse progressively with a stable crush response in order to effectively mitigate the kinetic energy.…”

Fiber metal laminate (FML) in form of tubular structures is a modern light-weight structure fabricated by incorporating metallic and composite materials. This present study deals with the impact characteristics and energy absorption performances of fiber metal laminate (FML) thin-walled tubes subjected to impact loading. Dynamic computer simulation techniques validated by experimental testing are used to perform a series of parametric studies of such devices. The study aims at quantifying the crush response and energy absorption capacity of FML thinwalled tubes under axial impact loading conditions. A comparison has been done in terms of crush behaviour and energy absorption characteristics of FML tubes with that of pure aluminium and composite tubes. It is evident that FML tubes are preferable as impact energy absorbers due to their ability to withstand greater impact loads, thus absorbing higher energy. Furthermore, it is found that the loading capacity of such tubes is better maintained as the crush length increases. The primary outcome of this study is design information for the use of FML tubes as energy absorbers where impact loading is expected particularly in crashworthiness applications.

“…Abdewi et al [75] studied composite tubes of circular cross section (CCS) and radial corrugated cross section (RCCT), and concluded that circular cross section had lower peak loads and lower specific energy absorption compared with corrugated tubes. However, circular composite tubes with inner radial corrugated (RCSCT) did not succeed to show any improvement in load carrying capacity [76].…”

The present paper reviews crushing process of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRPs) composites tubular structures. Working with anisotropic material requires consideration of specific parameter definition in order to tailor a well-engineered composite structure. These parameters include geometry design, strain rate sensitivity, material properties, laminate design, interlaminar fracture toughness and off-axis loading conditions which are reviewed in this paper to create a comprehensive data base for researchers, engineers and scientists in the field. Each of these parameters influences the structural integrity and progressive crushing behaviour. In this extensive review each of these parameters is introduced, explained and evaluated. Construction of a well-engineered composite structure and triggering mechanism to strain rate sensitivity and testing conditions followed by failure mechanisms are extensively reviewed. Furthermore, this paper has mainly focused on experimental analysis that has been carried out on different types of FRP composites in the past two decades.

“…The most common absorbers are thin-walled cylindrical shells which dissipate energy by collapsing under axial loads. These absorbers are irreversible and cannot be reused upon deformation (Lau et al, 2012).…”

This research was an experimental and numerical investigation of the cylindrical expanded Sheets under impact loading. Two types of absorbers with different cell angles were examined (i.e.  =0 and  =90). The experiments were performed using the drop hammer setup, and the numerical simulations were conducted by ABAQUS. In this study, the type of collapse, force-displacement diagrams, the crushing length, and the absorbed energy were investigated. The experimental and numerical results were compared, and it was observed that they were in good agreement. Results showed that the absorbers with the cell angle of α=0 had a symmetric collapse and a high energy absorption capacity. Also, various heights of fall were considered for the impact mass to examine the type of collapse in the models. The crushing amounts of the models were also compared in different heights. Multi-walled expanded metal tubes were studied, and the effect of being multi-walled in collapse was examined.Keywords Expanded metal energy absorbers; energy absorption capacity; dynamic axial loading; effect of impact force; finite element.Experimental and numerical investigation of lattice-walled cylindrical shell under low axial impact velocities Nomenclature A the cross section and yield stress at Eq.7
