Aluminium tubes were partially wrapped with 4, 6 and 8 glass/epoxy layers, using filament winding process. The 90{\^a}?? fiber orientation was used for glass/epoxy layers. Quasi-static loading of partially wrapped tubes was carried out at 5mm/min speed, using the universal {\^a}??testing machine. The experimental results revealed that partially wrapped aluminium tubes are 42.54, 47.77 and 28.91 more {\^a}??efficient in energy absorption as compared to the simple aluminium tubes. Furthermore, the effect of glass/epoxy layers on {\^a}??failure modes has also been described. {\^A}{\copyright} 2017 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.}, author = {Abbas, T. and Ya, H.
