Crushing performance of bioinspired hierarchical tapered structures
This paper introduces a new type of energy-absorbing hierarchical tapered structure, mimicking the hierarchical architecture of barnacle. The proposed structures are designed by iteratively incorporating sub-tapered tubes at the junctions of primary ribs aiming to enhance the crashworthiness perform...
