Article Synopsis
  • A tested energy absorbing device, crucial for roadway support, follows a pre-folded origami pattern and was analyzed using quasi-static compression and numerical simulation, showing less than 5% error in the modeling.
  • The device is divided into four zones, each affecting different parts of the load displacement curve, particularly with the middle fold edge influencing the peak load value.
  • Simulation results generated four key performance indicators: peak load, average load, load efficiency, and specific energy absorption, emphasizing the importance of strengthening the corner regions for improved load performance.
