Quasi-static axial crushing of hexagonal origami crash boxes as energy absorption devices

<p>Thin-walled tubes are widely used as energy absorption devices for their low cost and high manufacturability. Introduction of the origami technique enables the tube to follow a pre-determined failure mode and to improve its energy absorption efficiency. This paper examines the energy absorp...
