Abstract

Abstract: Carbon fiber composite thin-walled hexagonal pipe is molded by the combined process of prepreg lay-up and filament winding, and different trigger mechanisms of cavity and hole opening are set at the end of the pipe. The quasi-static axial compression load testing on composite thin-walled tube is carried out, and its deformation mode and energy absorption mechanism, as well as the effects of ply angle and trigger mechanism on the specific energy absorption and total energy absorption of thin-walled tube are analyzed. The testing results show that the specific energy absorption and total energy absorption of hexagonal thin-walled tube specimens with ply angle [±45°] under the same trigger mechanism are 123.7%, 111.5% and 111.5% higher than those with [0°/90°], [±45°₂/0°/0°/90°/0°], [64°₂/0°₂/64°₂/0°₂/64°₂], and the initial peak load with the cavity trigger mechanismunder the same ply angle is higher than that of opening hole.

Key words: laying angle, trigger mechanism, hexagonal composite thin-walled tube, axial compression, energy absorption, peak load
