The failure mechanisms of thick-walled circular frusta, made of glassfibre-reinforced composite material, when subjected to axial compression are reported. Depending on wall thickness and the semi-apical angle, a conical shell may fail by four distinct deformation modes: progressive crushing, splitting, mid-length failure and progressive folding.Progressive crushing was found to offer the highest energy-absorption efficiency, the two latter belonging to catastrophic |
