Assuming that the static loaded square tube and the dynamic loaded one have no difference in their characteristics of the crush distance, the theoretical mean dynamic crush load was calculated with respect to the impact speed considering the strain rate sensitivity of the material. The ratio of dynamic to static mean crush load was predicted with previous results. The theoretical analysis was compared with the experimental results of aluminum square tubes axially loaded dynamically.

본 논문에서는 복합재 원형튜브의 에너지 흡수 특성을 평가하기 위해 준정적 압괴실험을 시행하였다. 사용된 시편은 필라멘트 와인딩 공법으로 제작된 GFRP(유리섬유/에폭시수지) 원형 튜브이다. 복합재 튜브의 에너지 흡수 특성 분석을 위한 파라미터로서 튜브의 트리거메커니즘, t/D, 섬유배향각 등을 고려하여 그 특성을 비교하였다. 튜브의 형상 측면에서 튜브 직경이 커짐에 따라 delamination에 의한 국부좌굴 발생빈도가 증가하게 되어 불안정한 압괴모드가 발생하는데 이러한 현상은 섬유 배향각을 조정하여 안정적인 압괴모드를 도출할 수 있었다.

In this study, static axial crush tests were performed with the new aluminum/GFRP hybrid tube. Glass/Epoxy prepregs were wrapped around an aluminum tube and co-cured. The failure of the hybrid tube was stable and progressive without trigger mechanism, and specific energy absorption was increased to the maximum of 33% in comparison with the aluminum tube. Effective energy absorption is possible for an inner aluminum tube because a wrapped composite tube constrains the deflection of an aluminum tube. The failure of a hybrid composite tube was stable without trigger mechanism because the inner aluminum tube could play the role of the crack initiator and controller. Mean crushing load could be calculated by modifying the plastic hinge collapse model for hybrid materials. The predicted results by this analytical model showed good agreement with the experimental results. It can be said that Aluminum/Glass-Epoxy hybrid tube is suitable for the vehicle front structure because this hybrid tube shows effective energy absorption, easy production, and simple application capability for RTM process.
