Pre-stressed thin tubular composite energy absorbers for improved impact energy absorption
The study proposes pre-stressing techniques as applied to CFRP based composite thin-walled tubes with the intent of increasing energy absorption capacity. The energy computations for the tube with and without pre-stressing are compared using finite element based methodology. The study reveals that t...
