Energy absorption of thin-walled beams with a pre-folded origami pattern
This paper presents a novel energy absorption structure known as the origami beam. It is made from a shallow curved thin-walled beam of square cross section whose surface is pre-folded according to an origami pattern. Numerical simulation of the quasi-static lateral collapse of the origami beam sho...
