摘要
A composite crash absorber element for potential use in z-struts of commercial aircraft fuselage structures was developed, which absorbs energy under crash loads by cutting the composite strut into stripes and crushing the material under bending. The design concept of this absorber element is described and the performance is evaluated experimentally in static, crash and fatigue test series on component and structural level under normal and oblique impact conditions. The physics of the energy absorption by high rate material fragmentation and delamination interactions are explained and numerical modelling methods in explicit finite element codes for the simulation of the crash absorber are assessed.
