Lightweight metallic cellular materials (MCMs) have been seen in numerous engineering
applications to date, primarily due to their excellent mechanical characteristics such as low …

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 …

A series of novel bionic honeycombs (bio-honeycombs) are proposed by incorporating the
microstructure of the beetle elytra intersection unit into the regular hexagonal honeycomb …

In this paper, an innovative bio-inspired multi-layered graded foam-filled structure (MGFS)
mimicking the characteristics of the human skeleton was proposed in an attempt to improve …

Multi-cell tubes have been widely used in vehicle engineering for their excellent energy
