The effect of fiber content on the crashworthiness parameters of natural kenaf fiber-reinforced hexagonal composite tubes

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of fiber content on the crashworthiness parameters (i.e., energy absorption and stroke efficiency) and the failure modes of a non-woven kenaf (mat) fiber-reinforced hexagonal composite tube. The composite was prepared and fabricated using the hand-lay-up...
