Abstract
This paper is concerned with the design of filament wound rings applied to shock absorbing vehicular components operating in the initial period of an accident without increasing subsequent impact responses during the process. The impact force could be reduced without appreciably affecting the energy absorption by putting shallow notches on the inside of the ring by carrying out sequent cracking caused by debonding dependent on the stress concentration at the notch corner. The purpose of this investigation is to study the effects of varying the notch position and to determine the optimum geometry.
