Generation of Crush Characteristic Optimized for Origami Structures

Abstract

By using the basis of the origami engineering, we can easily crash a can or PET bottle with small force. Furthermore, using this structure to light collision or pedestrian by absorbing crushing energy, it is desirable to make deformation quantity large under small load. Then, in this research, to minimized average crushing force of an origami structure, the form of a structure and the angle of a polygonal line are optimized. The technique of optimization is a based on Holographic Neural Network (HNN), that is called one of Response Surface Method.
