heal.abstract	The present work is dealing with the experimental investigation of the bending of thin-walled composite tubes of non-circular cross-section, designed for the construction of various parts of the car body. Simultaneously much effort is given to explore the fracture mechanism governing the phenomenon examining as well as the influence of many of the factors associated with the energy absorbing efficiency and crashworthiness characteristics of the structures tested. Moreover, a theoretical analysis for the prediction of the ultimate bending strength for tubes of various composite materials and cross-sections subjected to bending, is presented. Theoretical results are compared with experimetal measurements and are found to be in good agreement. © 1995.	en
