Experimental Quasi-Static Axial Crushing of Non-Woven Kenaf Fibre/Epoxy Hexagonal Composite Tubes

Abstract:

An experimental study was carried out to study the crashworthiness parameters of non-woven kenaffibre/epoxy composite hexagonal tubes. The static crushing behavior of composite hexagonal tubes under constant axial load was investigated experimentally. Three lengths of hexagonal composite tubes were tested 50, 100, and 150 mm with the same hexagonal angle 45°. Load-Displacement curves and deformation histories of typical specimens are presented and discussed. Results exhibited that tube with length 150 mm exhibits high specific energy absorption.
