Composite Hat Structure Design for Vehicle Safety: Potential Application to B-Pillar and Door Intrusion Beam

Regarding crashworthiness, many published works have focused on designing thin-walled structures for frontal collisions compared to side-impact collisions. This paper presents an experimental investigation and finite element modelling of a carbon-reinforced thin-walled top-hat section subjected to q...
