Abstract
The energy absorption performance is important for the structural members of vehicles. High stiffness sheets which had a unique textured surface (SMART SHEETR^[◯!R]) were developed. The load was constant when a stacked SMART SHEET made in layers was compressed in the laminating direction, but the energy absoiption performance is low. Thus the energy absorption performance was investigated by experiment and FEM analysis when it was compressed in the direction which was vertical to the laminating direction. The results showed that the quantity of energy absorption of this construction was high, but the compressing load was not constant.
