Funded Activity Summary

Energy absorption and impact mechanics of origami structures and materials. This project aims to understand the dynamic behaviour of origami structures and metamaterials by utilising interdisciplinary approaches. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of origami engineering and structural mechanics. The success of this project will form a foundation for studying energy absorption and impact mechanics of origami family; the fundamental physics and mechanics will be applied to characterise microstructures and design novel metamaterials and offer a way of exploring new materials with superior and tuneable performance. This should provide significant benefits to improvement of their safety, stability and reliability performance in applications such as vehicles, warships and offshore engineering.
