The Composite Materials Handbook
CMH-17 |

PMC Crashworthiness Group
The newly formed Working Group will provide the support for the development of a new, selfcontained
section of the handbook on composite Crashworthiness and Energy Management for
vehicle safety certification. The Work Group will also attempt to address the needs of the
composites and aeronautics community at large, and to provide a unique forum of discussion for
those working in industry, research institutions, and government agencies. Through a close
interaction with ASTM Committee D-30, the Work Group will try to develop standards for the
characterization of the energy-absorbing characteristics of composite material systems, such as
the axial crushing of column-like members and of thin-wall tubular structures, representative of
aircraft sub-floors and automotive-sized rails. In general, it will try to present, for the first time in
a concise and comprehensive fashion, some recommended design guidelines and practices for
the experimental and numerical characterization of the crash resistance of advanced composite
structures.
