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...

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...

Unwanted sound reflection can create acoustic discomfort and lead to problems of speech comprehensibility. Contemporary building techniques enable highly finished internal walls resulting in sound reflective surfaces. In contrast, sustainable construction materials using natural and vegetal materials, are often more porous and absorptive. Hemp shiv is used as an aggregate and when mixed with li...

The thermo-optical properties of coated surface are important for spacecraft thermal control coatings which depend on the optical properties and structure of the coating material. These coatings control the temperature by their capability of outer energy absorption and its emission. The optical properties of pigment can be improved if the pigment contains a high fraction of voids in its structu...

in this study, first energy absorption of axial and bending loading is considered. next, thin walled structures under oblique loading are investigated using abaqus computer simulation, where 180 different cases are simulated. simulation results of the thin walled structures under oblique loading were compared with the experimental results of nagel, and good agreement was perceived. simulation r...

aluminum foams are a novel branch of advanced materials with superior properties. sandwich structures with aluminum foam core are good energy absorbers. in this paper, mechanical properties and energy absorption of aluminum foam sandwich panels subjected to quasi-static perforation tests with conical-nosed indenter were investigated experimentally. for this purpose sandwich panels consisting of...

Metallic tubes, under axial loading, are frequently preferred in many different industries due to their high energy absorption efficiency. The studies increase the capacity (EAC) of these structures still up date. In this study, deformation behavior and EAC regionally pre-deformed identical aluminum steel tubes loading were investigated experimentally. Regional strength was obtained by radial w...
