Abstract: A front rail configured to be supported by a vehicle frame includes a tubular body formed by a roll-formed high-strength metal and configured to undergo axial loading during a front vehicle impact. The high-strength metal sheet defines a cross-sectional shape along a length of the tubular body. The tubular body includes a central wall extending from a first side wall to a second side wall defining at least a first longitudinal channel and a second longitudinal channel. A groove is disposed in first side wall of the tubular body and extends longitudinally along at least a portion of the length of the tubular body to stiffen the tubular body. A hole extends through the first side wall of the tubular body proximate the groove and is configured as a bend initiator.

Abstract: A vehicle bumper system comprises a bumper reinforcement beam and an energy absorber with top and bottom rows of similarly-shaped spaced-apart crush lobes in alternating relation for uniform impact resistance across the bumper system. The illustrated top row of crush lobes provides a high first force-deflection curve for high impact forces, and the bottom row of crush lobes provides a lower second force-deflection curve, for pedestrian reduced injury. An elongated sensor is positioned under shear walls of the top and bottom crush lobes, and is retained by tabs on the energy absorber. This positively retains the sensor in position on the bumper system, with few (or zero) separate fasteners, while facilitating quick assembly and reliable operation of the sensor tube.
