In this paper, collapse test of thin-walled structural member widely used for automobiles is carried out under static compression load to observe the effects of cross-sectional shape and material on the energy absorbing capacity in the viewpoint of of crashworthiness, specimens tested consist of two sons(Aluminium, CFRP) and configurations(Cylinder, Square) with variation in thickness. Also, comparisons of Al cylinder and square specimens are made to find the influence of difference in shape on the energy absorbing capability according as the thickness of specimen varies.
