Abstract
Axially crushed thin-walled tubular structures are extensively used as energy absorbers in various automotive and aerospace applications because of their high energy absorption efficiency and long strokes. Moreover the necessity to reduce weight of structural components to contain gas emissions and reduce pollution impels to use lightweight engineering materials, such as composites. Although significant numerical and experimental works on the collapse of fiber-reinforced composite shells have been carried out, studies on the theoretical modeling of the crushing process are quite limited given the complex and brittle fracture mechanisms of composite materials.
