This paper presents a precise and cost effective numerical simulation approach of a corrugated composite crush web axial crushing that can be used in the design phase. Intra-laminar and inter-laminar failures of composite laminates were considered to improve the accuracy of a simulation and the complete laminate properties of laminate was adopted to reduce computation time. To validate the proposed simulation approach, specimens were fabricated and experimental study was carried out. The results of the simulation showed that very good agreement with the experimental data quantitatively and qualitatively and a significant decrease in the computation time.
