Abstract
This paper describes the energy absorption behaviors of knitted glass fiber fabric/epoxy and knitted carbon fiber fabric/epoxy composite tubes. The effects of fiber content, fiber orientation and testing speed on the crush zone morphology and specific energy absorption capability are discussed. Attempts have been made to relate the energy absorption capability to the crush zone morphology.Keywords
