  Abstract

Metal/composite hybrid thin-walled structures combine the low cost of metallic materials and the high strength-toweight ratio of composites and thus have the potential to be utilized as cost-effective energy absorbers for vehicle applications. This study aimed to examine the crushing behaviors and performance-to-cost ratio of aluminum/carbon fiberreinforced plastic (CFRP) hybrid tubes under quasi-static axial loading. First, a single aluminum tube, a single CFRP tube and an aluminum/CFRP hybrid tube were tested to validate numerical models. The experimental results showed that the total energy absorption (EA) of the aluminum/CFRP hybrid tube was 32.46 % higher than the sum of that of the individual parts, and the special energy absorption (SEA) of the hybrid tube was improved by 105.26 % compared with that of the single aluminum tube. Then, the effects of the orientation angles ([
