Origami-inspired metamaterials with switchable energy absorption based on bifurcated motions of a Tachi-Miura polyhedron

This study involved the design of energy absorbing structures that have precisely tailored performances based on the differences between the bifurcated motions of a Tachi-Miura polyhedron (TMP) with flat-foldable and load-bearing motions. The tailored performance is explored with finite element anal...
