heal.abstract	In this experimental work the crash energy absorption of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) tubular components that collapse in laminate splaying mode is investigated by means of a new testing method, the ""curling test"". This test method was used trying rectangular carbon, aramid and glass FRP strips - in which the reinforcing fibres were in the form of reinforcing woven fabric (carbon and aramid FRP specimens) and multi-axial fibre reinforcements (glass FRP specimens). Apart from the analysis of the system of bending and friction forces acting on the specimens during the curling tests in comparison with the forces acting in the case the laminate splaying collapse mode and the observations related to the deformation and crushing induced on the FRP specimens by this force combination, the analysis of the test results focused on the influence of the most important geometric and laminate material properties - such as thickness, flexural rigidity, number of reinforcing fibre layers, laminate stacking sequence and constituent material mechanical properties - on the specific energy absorption and the peak load. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
