Bio-inspired multi-cell tubular structures approaching ideal energy absorption performance

The energy absorption potential of conventional thin-walled tubes is compromised by the long-wavelength folding lobes, which result in a mean crushing force that is much smaller than their yield strength. Here, inspired by the characteristics of the skeletal of the glass sponge, a new thin-walled mu...
