Crushing characteristics of bionic thin-walled tubes inspired by bamboo and beetle forewing

Bionic structures have garnered considerable attention due to their superior energy absorption capacity and light weight. This study proposes a group of bionic thin-walled tubes inspired by the microstructure of bamboo and beetle forewing. Experimental testing is conducted to validate the finite element model of bionic thin-walled tubes. The crushing performance of bionic thin-walled tubes and traditional thin-walled tubes is compared under the...
