Thin-walled structures are used in automotive industry due to their excellent lightweight and crashworthiness properties. This paper proposes a vertex fractal multi-cell hexagonal structure to develop a novel lightweight energy absorber. Experimental analysis and numerical modeling are performed to investigate the crashworthiness of the fractal multi-cell hexagonal structures. The numerical results indicate that fractal configurations and geometrical parameters of the fractal hexagonal structure have significant effect on the crashworthiness. In addition, the multi-objective design optimization is performed to seek the optimal crashworthiness parameters and explore the optimal crashworthiness of the fractal hexagonal structure. The results show that the fractal multi-cell hexagonal structure outperforms non-fractal hexagonal structure.
