Axial crushing of fiber filled thin tubes

The energy absorption capacity of a series of axially crushed tubes filled with oil palm fiber is compared with empty tube. This is to determine the viability of considering the use of such composites or bimaterials in transportation system especially in automotive application. The cross-sectional...
