Design and testing of a DNA-like torsional structure for energy absorption

A torsional structure with a DNA-like chiral core is proposed and investigated for energy absorption with a frictional mechanism. The DNA-like chiral core can generate a twisting deformation under axial loading. Based on this behavior, the proposed torsional structure exhibits a unique energy absorp...
