| description | Abstract In order to investigate the damage characteristics of structural components under axial compression, thin-walled columns are chosen as a more straightforward construct due to the complex structural properties of composite materials, diverse fiber laying angles, and varied geometries associated with thin-walled columns. Despite the limitations imposed by labor-intensive testing procedures, high costs, and the poor repeatability inherent in experimental research methods, there remains an insufficient exploration of axial compressive damage in columns composed of aluminum and fiber-reinforced polymers. This article utilizes the finite element technique to quantitatively analyze the crushing processes of four materials: aluminum, carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, and glass fiber-reinforced polymer. It examines the effects of varying fibers and matrix materials on their mechanical attributes. The study also evaluates the impact of different cross-sectional designs on the mechanical behavior of the columns. |
