This study proposed a new bio-inspired hierarchical circular honeycomb (BHCH), mimicking
the hierarchical structures from wood. The mechanical properties and energy absorption …

In this study, the dynamic crushing behaviour and energy absorption characteristics of a
novel bio-inspired hierarchical multi-cell square (BHMS) tubes were numerically and …

It is widely known that the demand for lightweight structures with excellent energy absorption
capacity is paramount in numerous engineering applications. Many publications have …

This study proposes novel bio-inspired fractal multi-cell circular (BFMC) tubes for energy
absorption. The inner structures of the proposed BFMC tubes were constructed based on the …

Previous studies have shown that the multi-cell bi-tubular tubes exhibit superior energy
absorption compared to the multi-cell tubes. To further improve the energy absorption of the …

The ability of a vehicle to protect its occupants from serious injuries in the event of a collision
is defined as crashworthiness. The proper design of lightweight energy absorption …

The energy absorption potential of conventional thin-walled tubes is compromised by the
long-wavelength folding lobes, which result in a mean crushing force that is much smaller …

Metamaterials refer to a class of artificial composite structures with supernormal physical
properties that natural materials do not have. The emergence of metamaterials has opened …
