AbstractThis research investigates the compressive property of a novel composite based on a weft-knitted auxetic tube subjected to a quasi-static compression test. In order to maximize the influence of the fiber content on the compression test, a Kevlar yarn was used in knitting the tubular samples using three different auxetic arrow-head structures (i.e. 4 × 4, 6 × 6 and 8 × 8 structure). A quasi-static compression test was conducted under two different impact loading speeds (i.e. 5 mm/min and 15 mm/min loading speed). The results indicate that the energy absorption (EA) property of the auxetic composite is highly influenced by the auxeticity of the knitted tubular fabric.

Composite tube is one new kind of multi-material shell structures. It has both of metal and composite energy absorption advantage. In order to find the energy absorption characteristic of composite tube and put it into use, the Drop-Weight Tear Test (DWTT) was carried out. The LD2Y aluminum was chosen as the inner metal material which was wrapped fiberglass epoxy composite outside. During the test, the displacement signal and velocity signal, acceleration signal were got by piezoelectric acceleration transducer. Furthermore, the DWTT test of the composite tube was simulated in LS-DYNA, and proved the validity of the model by comparing the simulation results with the experiment results. We established the vehicle front longitudinal beam model with the material type of the composite tube, and carried out the simulations of whole car collisions in LS-DYNA according to FMVSS 208. Through the analysis of occupant head injury got from the simulations, we got the result that using the composite tube material could not only elevate the cars safety but also reduce front longitudinal beam weight effectively.
