Cellular structures are commonly used to design energy-absorbing structures,and origami structures are becoming a prevalent method of cellular structure design.This paper proposes a foldable cellular structure based on the Waterbomb origami pattern.The geometrical configuration of this structure is described.Quasi-static compression tests of the origami tube cell of this cellular structure are conducted,and load-displacement relationship curves are obtained.Numerical simulations are carried out to analyze the effects of aspect ratio,folding angle,thickness and number of layers of origami tubes on initial peak force and specific energy absorption(SEA).Calculation formulas for initial peak force and SEA are obtained by the multiple linear regression method.The degree of influence of each parameter on the mechanical properties of the single-layer tube cell is compared.The results show that the cellular structure exhibits negative stiffness and periodic load-bearing capacity,as well as folding angle has the most significant effect on the load-bearing and energy-absorbing capacity.By adjusting the design parameters,the stiffness,load-bearing capacity and energy absorption capacity of this cellular structure can be adjusted,which shows the programmable mechanical properties of this cellular structure.The foldability and the smooth periodic load-bearing capacity give the structure potential for application as an energy-absorbing structure.
