The battery-pack system of electric vehicles is prone to collide with low obstacles on the
road, causing battery short circuits and even explosions. It poses a great safety threat to …

Determining the elastic moduli of materials plays an important role in solving many structural
problems, such as vibration and buckling analyses of advanced laminate plates and shells …

This research proposes a novel bio-inspired bi-directional gradient hierarchical multi-cell
(BGHM) structure for efficient energy absorption. Its dynamic crushing performance and …

Bio-inspired and hierarchical concepts are demonstrated to be effective in enhancing the
compressive performance of tubes. The bio-inspired hierarchical multi-cell circular (BHMC) …

Honeycomb structures are commonly adopted due to their superior energy absorption
capacity. In this study, a new bionic glass sponge–type honeycomb structure (BSH) with a …

In this study, a truncated origami structure, originated from the Miura-ori structure, was
designed. The compressive behaviors of this structure subjected to x 2-direction (in-plane) …

In this study, a new fractal multi-cell square tube (FMST) based on the fractal design of the
Sierpinski carpet is proposed for energy absorption. The dynamic crushing performance and …

When rockbursts occur, the unloading rate of the relief valve of the hydraulic support is less
than the loading rate of the impact load, which leads to a continuous increase in the …

Sandwich structures are often used as protective structures on ships. To further improve the
energy-absorbing characteristics of traditional honeycomb sandwich structures, an energy …

Throughout evolution, plants and animals have optimized their structure to thrive in a wide
range of extreme environments, offering natural structures with both low mass and high …
