abstract="Experimental results pertaining to the static axial loading of hybrid square rail vehicle tubular components, made of foam-cored composite sandwich panels with integral energy absorbing inserts, are reported. The structural configuration tested is the &quot;corrugated&quot; core system. Failure modes at macro- and microscale and the energy absorbing of the collapsed structural components are presented. The crashworthy behaviour of these small-scale body shells seems to be greatly affected by the structural design and the material properties of the composite sandwich components. The effect of diverse triggering conditions (&quot;chamfer&quot; and &quot;tulip&quot; triggering structures) at one end of the specimens tested is investigated and analyzed and distinctions arising between trigger types are also highlighted where appropriated.   <p>Language: en</p>",
