Abstract

To study the energy absorption features in composite structures, it is necessary to identify the functional mechanisms and determine the impact of each on the energy absorption. In this study, the behavior of composite tubes under compressive axial load was investigated by acoustic emission monitoring. To make a filament wound composite tube, the optimal parameters were first determined using literature. In determining the optimal parameters, due to the uncertainty effect of fiber angles, from the intermediate range, the angle of 35 degrees was selected. Then, to ensure the experimental results, the finite element simulation method and the use of the VUMAT subroutine based on the 3D Hashin criterion were used. The results showed that the dominant failure mode was a local shear failure and lateral damage, which first caused the plastic deformation of the sample and then caused the growth of cracks in the fiber direction. Also, the highest percentage of failure mechanisms are matrix cracking, fiber breakage, and separation of fibers from the matrix, respectively. Finally, the use of the developed subroutine to predict the behavior of the structure was useful and was able to predict the behavior of the composite tube even after the maximum crushing force.
