Traditionally, metals are used for crashworthy structural applications, mainly due to their plastic deformation characteristics that enable them to absorb impact energy in a controlled manner. Unlike the metals, polymer composite materials display little plastic deformation characteristics. The use
As computer power is increased, refined finite element models are employed for structural analysis and design. However, it is still difficult and expensive to make and use refined finite element models in the design stage. The refined models usually cause problems in the preliminary design where the
