Energy absorption capacity and damage behavior for different composite wall thickness and fiber ply orientation were investigated. The result shows that adding composite layers to the aluminum column will improve the column’s energy absorption capacity. Nevertheless, the Specific Energy Absorption (SEA) of the aluminum structures generally higher than the hybrid systems. However, the hybrid column has higher crushing resistance than a combination of separate aluminum and composite crash boxes with the same geometry. This shows that interaction between aluminum and composites enhance the crash behavior since a stable and progressive crushing mode were observed, resulting in greater energy absorption. Additional research should be carried out to investigate further.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors would like to acknowledge the Basic Research of Higher Education (PDUPT) Grant 2020, Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, Republic of Indonesia for the funding for this research.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/1007/1/012016[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
