Abstract
The static energy absorption behavior of graphite epoxy composite cor rugated (sine wave) webs loaded in axial compression is reported in this paper. Tests have been conducted to study the effects of various geometric parameters of the web specimen including width and gross thickness. The importance of the failure initiator and its effect on energy absorption are described along with other observed energy absorption trends. Comparisons are made with published tube specimen behavior where appropriate. The existence of a stability boundary within which efficient crushing occurs is shown in the case of gross thickness variation of the web.
