Abstract: The energy absorption capacity of origami crash boxes (OCB) subjected to oblique loading is investigated in the present study. A conventional square tube (CST) with identical weight is employed as benchmark. The comparative ...

Abstract: The cruciforms are widely employed as energy absorbers in ships and offshore structures, or basic components in sandwich panel and multicell structure. The kirigami approach is adopted in the design of cruciform in this ...

Abstract: Conventional energy absorber usually employs stubby thin-walled structures. Compared with the limited number of stubby thin-walled structures, an equipment has a large number of slender thin-walled structures that has the ...
