Abstract
Composite tubes can be reinforced with continuous fibers. When such tubes are subjected to crushing loads, the response is complex and depends on interaction between the different mechanisms that control the crushing process. The modes of crush ing and their controlling mechanisms are described. Also, the resulting crushing process and its efficiency are addressed.Keywords
