Transition of deformation modes from bending to auxetic compression in origami-based metamaterials for head protection from impact
Abstract For the protection of the human head by energy absorption structures, a soft mechanical response upon contact with the head is required to mitigate the effect of impact, while a hard mechanical response for highly efficient energy absorption is required to stop the movement of the head. Thi...
