In order to generalise the conclusions of the study, different thicknesses and testing velocities have been analysed. The main conclusion is that, if the same thickness and testing velocity are used, the specific energy absorption (SEA) and peak load values are similar for the building block and the crash-box. Consequently, the design of the complex structure can be validated by simplifying the test procedure. However, special attention must be put on the testing velocity, since the broken fibre percentage is higher in quasi-static conditions. Thus, SEA in quasi-static conditions is higher than in dynamic conditions, 64 kJ/kg and 45 kJ/kg respectively. eng Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
