A Study of Energy Absorption Performances of Pultruded Composites under Quasi-Static Compressive Loadings

Abstract:

This work presents a study of energy absorption performances of pultruded composite tubes under quasi-static compressive loadings. The as-received tubes were chamfered at 35, 45 and 55⁰. The purpose of chamfered tube edge is to initiate the crushing process and to make sure the tubes were progressively collapsed under quasi-static compressive loadings. According to the present results, for 3 mm tube thickness, varying chamfering angles are not significantly affected the force-displacement curves. Except for the case of 55⁰ showed higher peak force compared with other angles. However, if the thickness is increased to 5 mm, the effect on the curves of force versus displacement is tremendous where higher chamfering angles produced higher energy absorption performances.
