From: Transition of deformation modes from bending to auxetic compression in origami-based metamaterials for head protection from impact

Figure 1

Realization of both impact mitigation and the EA based on the transition of deformation modes. (a) Schematic of the deformation-mode transition for impact mitigation and EA. The bending mode provides a soft response for impact mitigation and auxetic deformation provides a hard response for EA. (b) The specific application for head protection from the collision between the head and headrest of a seat in a vehicle.
