TY - JOUR PB - Trans Tech Publications Ltd SP - 61 AV - none ID - scholars9200 EP - 67 N2 - This paper describes the failure modes and energy absorption capability of partially wrapped aluminium-glass/epoxy tubes, subjected to quasi-static loading. â??These tubes are used in aircraft and automobiles applications. Aluminium tubes were partially wrapped with 4, 6 and 8 glass/epoxy layers, using filament winding process. The 90â?¦ 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 â??testing machine. The experimental results revealed that partially wrapped aluminium tubes are 42.54, 47.77 and 28.91 more â??efficient in energy absorption as compared to the simple aluminium tubes. Furthermore, the effect of glass/epoxy layers on â??failure modes has also been described. © 2017 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
