Abstract
Tubes based on Origami structure are considered to be advantageous to pedestrian and/or low speed Vehicle collision problems, and we examine its crashworthiness by finite element method simulation. As a result, we find out that Origami structures canot be folded completely in some cases. And if the fold is incompletely, the crashworthiness becomes worse. So here we examine in which case Origami structure can be folded completely.
