Aluminium tubes were partially wrapped with 4, 6 and 8 glass/epoxy layers, using filament winding process. The 90� 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 �testing machine. The experimental results revealed that partially wrapped aluminium tubes are 42.54, 47.77 and 28.91 more �efficient in energy absorption as compared to the simple aluminium tubes. Furthermore, the effect of glass/epoxy layers on �failure modes has also been described. © 2017 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd date: 2017 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Abbas, T. and Ya, H.H. and Abdullah, M.Z.
