Numerical study of open-top truncated pyramid folded structures with interconnected side walls against flatwise crushing

In this study, new types of folded structures with different base shapes (i.e. triangle, square and pentagon) are proposed. Each structure is folded from a thin sheet of aluminium, with the geometry of open-top truncated pyramid and connected inclination sidewalls. The purpose of this unique geometr...
