Abstract (2. Language): 
Nowadays, the energy absorption systems are used in many different industries and structures to reduce injuries. The usage method of these absorbers is different based on the type of occurrence and the amount of energy absorption. Thin-walled cells like plate, shell, firm and cured sandwich plates, etc. have the most application in the energy absorbers and these structures can tolerate the large movements, subjected to compressive loads and impact. In this article the study of crashworthiness and energy absorption of CFRP composite thin-walled structures with square cross section, using the finite elements method have been done, and the resulted maximum and average values of crushing force and the amount of energy absorption are compared with experimental analysis results, and the variation of different parameters such as fibers angle, the dimensions of cross section and its thickness is studied.
