1317 Improvement in Crashworthiness of Origami Structure in case of Oblique Offset Impact

Abstract

We proposed Tubes using Origami structure, which has advantages for pedestrian and/or low speed Vehicle collision problem, and examined the crashworthiness of it by finite element method simulation. But these examinations didn't include the Oblique Offset Impact case, although, in real world, many frontal collisions are oblique offset impact. So then, in this report, we examined the crashworthiness of Origami structure in case of Oblique Offset Impact.
