Simulation of Z-crimp shaping with the use of the ansys finite element software

Development and modeling of multi-phase polymeric origami inspired architecture by using pre-molded geometrical features

“…Alekseev [15] has presented a simulation of geometrical parameters of both regular and irregular folded cores using CAD systems for designing the structure. A theoretical and experimental study to determine the characteristics of Z-Crimp cores has been introduced by Paimushin, et al [15], while Shabalin et al [16] provided a simulation of Z-Crimp shaping using the ANSYS finite element package. The effect of the geometrical parameters of Z-Crimp origami pattern on strength under transverse compression and longitudinal shear at the same volumetric density made of different materials has been investigated by Dvoeglazov et al [17]; the authors outlined valuable recommendations for the selection of structural parameters concerning origami structures for high strength.…”
