Abstract

The present paper is dealing with the implementation of the explicit FE Code LS-DYNA to the simulation of the crash behavior and energy absorption characteristics of 3D braided composite tubes subjected to axial impact loading. The effects of geometrical and braid parameters on the energy absorption characteristics are investigated in this paper. The obtained numerical results are compared with actual experimental data, showing very good agreement.
