Origami-based metamaterials can be used for impact mitigation applications by manipulating material properties through geometric folding patterns. The Tachi-Miura Polyhedron (TMP) exhibits rigid foldability, tunable enclosed volume, and unique strain hardening and softening behavior, making it suitable for situations requiring negative and positive stiffness. Experimental compression and decompression tests on a TMP prototype confirmed the predicted strain behavior but were quantitatively unreliable due to friction. Further testing is needed to verify analytical models, improve test reliability, and develop consistent comparison methods between experiment and theory.
