In this work, finite element analyses using LS-DYNA had been carried out to investigate the energy absorption capability of a composite crash box. The analysed design incorporates grooves to the cross sectional shape and E-Glass/Epoxy as design material. The effects of groove depth, ridge lines, pla...
