In this study, simulations of quasi-static and dynamic loading on the Al functionally graded materials (Al FGM) crash boxes are carried out. The FGM crash box is fabricated by heat treatment method. Five different crash boxes, namely FGM0, FGM1, FGM2, FGM3 and FGM4 for the different heat treatment temperatures of 25, 500, 520, 540 and 560 °C, respectively are investigated. The simulation results of quasi-static loading test show that FGM1 has the maximum force of 97.515 kN and the highest specific energy absorption (SEA), 33.029 kJ/kg. As for dynamic loading test, FGM3 has recorded the highest maximum force, 59.379 kN and FGM2 has recorded the highest SEA, 24.17 kJ/kg. It can be concluded that the strength and SEA of crash box is increased by introducing FGM concept.

AbstractThe strength and post-peak performance of reinforced concrete corbels, strengthened with epoxy bonded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) overlays, were experimentally investigated. The test variables were the corbel shear span to depth ratio, corbel main reinforcement ratio, and the number and orientation of the GFRP fibers. In total, 24 normal strength concrete, one-third scale, corbel specimens, without hoop reinforcement, were tested to failure under quasi-static gravity loading. Test results revealed that GFRP overlays can easily be used for the enhancement of corbel load bearing capacity, depending on the fiber orientation. The main reinforcement ratio and the number of GFRP plies were found to be the two main variables affecting the level of strength gain in the corbel specimens.
