Assessing the behavior of composite structures which are subjected to impact loads is one of the important subjects in the field of mechanical sciences. Using thin-walled tubes which collapsed and absorbed the impact energy is a well-known method to prevent damages to the other parts of the structures. In this paper, deformations, crushing length, peak load, mean force and energy absorption cap...

Effect of geometry on crushing behavior, energy absorption and failure mode of woven roving jute fiber/epoxy laminated composite tubes were experimentally studied. Investigations were carried out on three different geometrical types of composite tubes (circular, square and radial corrugated) subjected to axial compressive loading. It was observed in axial crushing study that the load bearing ca...

in this paper, convection heat transfer of al2o3-water nanofluid turbulent flow through internally ribbed tubes with different rib shapes (rectangular, trapezoidal and semi-circular) is numerically investigated. for each rib shape, the optimum geometric ratio and volume fraction were calculated using entropy generation minimization technique. the governing equations in steady state and axisymme...

This paper investigates axial compression process of multi-layered tubes with circular cross-section under the axial loading in the quasi-static condition using experimental method. Some specimens are prepared in seven different groups, namely; empty carbon/epoxy composite tubes, solid carbon/epoxy composite rods, empty copper tubes, composite tubes with silicon sealant filler, concentrically s...

We examine a numerical technique developed to simulate unsteady dispersion and diffusion in coated tubes of arbitrary but axially-constant cross-section. The method is validated against analytical asymptotic solutions produced for tubes of circular section, then applied to the study of dispersion in equivalent tubes of square section, coated on one, two, three or four walls, and in a family of ...

Tensile tests have been performed at up to five different displacement rates, from about lmm/s to over 20,000mm/s, on braided glass-fibre tubes of both square and circular cross-section and the corresponding force-displacement curves have been derived. In general both the maximum tensile force and the displacement at failure increase with increasing loading rate, implying a greater energy absor...

The main objective of this research is to improvethe design and performance of the polyurethane foam-filled thin-walled aluminum grooved circular tubes using multi-response optimization (MRO) technique. The tubes are shaped with the inner and the outer circular grooves at different positions along the axis. For this aim, several numerical simulations using ABAQUS finite element explicit code ar...

In this study, the mechanical properties of different CFST column shapes, including circular, rectangular, square, square with rounded corners, and triangular, are all analyzed compared using ANSYS R2 2021 software. Total deformation, equivalent stress in concrete steel, elastic strain characteristics various shapes also compared. axial load as well highest that columns can support. Comparing c...
