内容摘要Abstract： 

This presentation introduces energy absorption and impact response of origami inspired structures and metamaterial, which we have recently studied. Several examples of incorporating the concepts of origami will be presented. They include thin-walled structures under axial loading, Miura metamaterials and its variations under quasi-static and dynamic compression and origami sandwich panels under quasi-static loading and ballistic impact.

Responses of such materials and structures involve large plastic deformation as well as dynamic effects.  For metamaterials, analytical models have been developed to describe the strength and energy absorption capacity. It is assumed that the base material is ductile and can be approximated as a perfectly-plastic material. The analytical model is verified by the numerical simulations as well as quasi-static compression test of a four-sheet origami specimen. Response of such material under impact loading is also investigated and a shock model is proposed for high velocity impact.
