Energy absorption behaviors of trapezoid origami boxes with curved-creases
Compared with conventional square crash boxes, origami crash boxes demonstrate superior potential for widespread application because they can generate several times as many traveling plastic hinge lines (TPHL) as conventional ones, increase the plastic deformation area of the crash box, and greatly improve the energy absorption performance. However, for origami crash boxes, the increase in the number of TPHLs restricts their movement range. Consequently, it becomes difficult for ductile deformations with high energy absorption expressiveness to occur within the origami crash boxes, making it challenging to further enhance the energy absorption performance. Therefore, an innovative curved-crease design method is proposed in this paper. Due to the effect of the curved crease design, the curved crease can lead origami creases to change into TPHLs at the position of maximum curvature and produce a larger ductile deformation area. Through deformation mechanism analysis, compression experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical analysis of trapezoidal origami crash boxes with curved-creases (TCB-ρ), it can be verified that the curved-crease design not only guides the crash box to generate multiple traveling plastic hinge lines but also further expands the in-plane ductile deformation. Moreover, multiple numerical simulation results indicate that the curved-crease design can decrease the Fmax, enhance the Fave, and ensure a stable energy absorption process in origami crash boxes. The curved-crease ρ and dihedral angle θ of the TCB-ρ have a significant effect on crashworthiness.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
