Abstract

This paper investigates the collapse characteristics of CF/Epoxy composite tubes subjected to axial loads as changing interlaminar number and outer ply orientation angle. The tubes are aften used for automobiles, aerospace vehicles, trains, ships, and elevators. We have performed static and dynamic impact collapse tests by a way of building impact test machine with vertical air-compression. It is fanad that CF/Epoxy tube of the 6 interlaminar number (C-type) with 90° outer orientation angle and trigger absorbed more energy than the other tubes (A, B and D types). Also collapse mode depended upon outer orientation angle of CF/Epoxy tubes and loading type as well ; typical collapse modes of CF/Epoxy tubes are wedged, splayed and fragmentcl.
