Nature's bio-organisms are typically hybrid structures composed of hierarchical and
functionally graded micro-architectures, which are lightweight and of high mechanical …

Kirigami, the ancient art of paper cutting, has evolved into a design and fabrication
framework to engineer multi‐functional materials and structures at vastly different scales. By …

It has been demonstrated that origami structures can be successfully used for honeycomb
structures. And the excellent energy absorption properties of origami structures make them a …

The aim of this paper is to present a proposed honeycomb core shape and compare it with a
normal hexagonal shape core in a sandwich beam. The sandwich cores are simulated in …

Cellular structures including three-dimensional lattices and two-dimensional honeycombs
have significant benefits in achieving optimal mechanical performance with light weighting …

This study investigates the compressive properties of origami-inspired metastructures in the
three directions and compares them with the conventional two-dimensional (2D) double …

To support the high protection requirements of advanced equipment, honeycomb materials
are encountering more demanding challenges on their flexible design and mechanical …

In this study, three novel multi-directional energy-absorbing honeycombs were designed to
meet the requirements in the crash of uncertain directions, which are named as bow-shaped …

A bi-factorial hierarchical strategy is proposed to obtain a superior crushing resistance by
optimizing the network section of honeycomb materials. A novel honeycomb named bi …

The mechanical behaviors of honeycomb cores subjected to out-of-plane compressive
loading were studied based on the deformation of cell walls. Four types of honeycomb …
