Design of a composite crash box for a Formula Student team car: preliminary testing and model tuning

In this work, preliminary studies towards the development of a structural carbon fibre nose for a Formula Student team car are presented. Numerical and experimental approaches have been considered to evaluate the impact behaviour of composite tubes. Then, finite element simulations are used to deter...
