| Summary: | Composite materials have been known for its low density, ease in fabrication, high structural rigidity, and
wide range applications, i.e. aeronautic applications and automotive industry. Due to this, extensive studies
had been conducted to evaluate its axial crushing ability to replace metallic materials. In this paper, it
reviewed the usage of fibre reinforced plastic composite (FRP) as an energy absorption application device.
Failure modes and geometrical designs such as shapes, geometry and triggering effect have been studied
where these factors affected on peak load and specific energy absorption significantly. Accordingly,
numerical analysis for axial crushing of affected factors had been simulated to predict the failure mechanisms
of FRP composites. |
