Purpose: This paper describes and discusses the processing and characterization of quartz particulate reinforced aluminium-silicon alloy matrix composite. Design/methodology/approach: In this regard, quartz-silicon dioxide particulate reinforced LM6 alloy matrix composites were fabricated by carbon dioxide sand molding process with different particulate volume fraction. Tensile tests and scanning electron microscopic studies were conducted to determine the maximum load, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and fracture surface analysis have been performed to characterize the morphological aspects of the test samples after tensile testing. Findings: Hardness values are measured for the quartz particulate reinforced LM6 alloy composites and it has been found that it gradually increases with increased addition of the reinforcement phase. The tensile strength of the composites decreases with the increase in addition of quartz particulate. Research limitations/implications: The results allows to determine the structure and properties of the aluminium silicon matrix composite materials. Originality /value: In addition, this research article is well featured by the particulate-matrix bonding and interface studies which have been conducted to understand the processed composite materials mechanical behavior and it was well supported by the fractographs taken using the scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to presents a study of the energy absorption of square tubular structures. Design/methodology/approach: Tubes of three materials namely, mild steel, glass reinforced composite and Kevlar reinforced composite were used to observe their deformation and energy absorption characteristics. The tubular structures energy absorption characteristic was reviewed from both the materials and structural points of view. Axial crushing tests were carried out on the tubes under quasi-static loading condition. Findings: The load-displacement curves of the tested tubes were presented and described. In addition, the deformation processes of the tubes was analyzed and evaluated. Several fracture modes of the crushed tubes were observed in most cases. Research limitations/implications: It has been found that parameters such as thickness, type of fiber and length of tubes has a considerable effect on the crushing characteristic of collapsed tubes. Originality/value: Description of crushing behavior of the energy absorption characteristic of glass/polyester and Kevlar/polyester thin-walled composite square tubes under quasi-static axial crushing load.
