Enhanced Crashworthiness Parameters of Nested Thin-Walled Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer and Al Structures: Effect of Using Expanded Polypropylene Foam

Enhanced Crashworthiness Parameters of Nested Thin-Walled Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer and Al Structures: Effect of Using Expanded Polypropylene Foam

The in-plane loading conditions of carbon fiber/epoxy composite (CFRP) and aluminum nested-tube-reinforced expanded polypropylene (EPP) blocks were empirically examined. This study used crashworthiness metrics to estimate the best design configuration under quasi-static loading rates. The experiment...
