Abstract
This paper presents a review of the crush behavior of aluminum/composite hybrid tubes which are produced by wrapping one or more composite layers on aluminum tubes. It also provides new experimental data on the effect of crush initiators on the crush behavior of aluminum/composite hybrid tubes. It is shown that the crush initiator can influence both the failure mode as well as the energy absorption of all three types of tubes.
