Cutting Deformation Mechanisms of Square Aluminium/CFRP Tubes

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to find the best platen with blades as a new energy dissipating mechanism that causes considerably damage to CFRP/aluminium tubes. Specially designed and manufactured platens with five different cutting blade profiles were used to simultaneously cut and crush square CFRP tubes and aluminium sheet-wrapped CFRP tubes. The platens with blades were evaluated in terms of the deformation mode, mean crushing force, energy absorption and specific energy absorption of tubes. Experimental results showed that tubes cut and crushed by the platen with 45^o inclined blades had the best crushing performance and exhibited a more stable deformation mode compared with those for tubes cut and crushed by other platens with different blade profiles. The platens with blades acted as trigger mechanisms that minimise the initial peak crushing force and maximise the energy absorption of tubes compared with tubes crushed by flat loading platens.
