Abstract: |
The design of effective and compact energy absorption systems is key to the survivability and durability of many man-made structures and machines. To this end, this work presents the design, assessment, and implementation of a novel origami-inspired energy absorber that is based on the Kresling origami pattern. The absorber consists of a Kresling origami column positioned between the loading point and an energy dissipation module. By exploiting its unique inherent translation-to-rotation coupling feature, the primary function of the Kresling column is to transmit uniaxial incident loads (shock or impact) into localized rotational energy that can then be dissipated in a viscous fluid chamber. The proposed system has several unique advantages over traditional designs including the ability to (i) dissipate energy associated with both torsional and uniaxial loads, ( |
