    摘要: A modular energy absorbing assembly 10 comprising at base 12, and at least one energy absorbing module 14 associated with the base for accommodating deformation of the assembly. At least some of the energy absorbing modules have a plurality of recesses 16 defined within the base. Each of the plurality of recesses has a floor and at least one wall extending from the floor to the base. An intermediate segment extends between the floor and the at least one wall. The intermediate segment has an average radius (R). At least some of the recesses are oriented such that their floors are substantially orthogonal to a major incident component of the impacting force and their walls are inclined at an angle (&agr;) to the major incident component of the impacting force, where (0

    摘要: An energy absorbing assembly 10 is provided for decelerating an object that impacts the assembly. The assembly comprises an incident member 12 having an incident surface 14 that meets the impacting object and at least one energy absorbing member 16 attached to an attachment region 17 of an opposing face 18 of the incident member 12 for accommodating deformation of the assembly 10. The energy absorbing member 16 comprises a lattice of interconnected strands 20, wherein the strands 20 intersect to define a plurality of cells 22. The energy absorbing member 16 is oriented such that the plane of each cell 22 is substantially perpendicular to the attachment region 17 in order to maximize energy absorption over a given distance. The lattice collapses and at least some of the cells 22 become at least partially closed during energy absorption.

    摘要: An energy absorbing structure 10 for protecting an impacted body, such as a pedestrian 12. The structure has an incident surface that meets the pedestrian and has at least some expanded metallic structure 18. A pair of wall support surfaces 20, 22 lie substantially in-plane with respect to a normal component of the impacting force. They extend from the incident surface in a direction opposite to the direction of the impact. The substantially in-plane surfaces also have at least some expanded metallic structure. A pair of basal surfaces 26, 28 support the in-plane surfaces, and also have at least some expanded metallic structure.
