Abstract: Controlled energy absorption of seats for impact is described herein. One disclosed example method includes determining a weight of an occupant of a seat of an aircraft, and calculating, using a processor, a stroke load of a seat energy absorber operatively coupled to the seat based on the weight of the occupant. The example method also includes setting the seat energy absorber to the calculated stroke load.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for a composite structural aircraft transmission support link having an integral energy-absorbing feature is disclosed. The link is a two-force member that can carry structural loads up an ultimate load. When loaded beyond ultimate load the design allows sections of the link to fail in a controlled and progressive manner, so that energy is absorbed over a defined stroking distance.

Abstract: A vehicle load-limiting suspension apparatus comprises at least one shear tab for controlling an amount of impact load applied to a vehicle structure when a vehicle impact event occurs. The vehicle load-limiting suspension apparatus further comprises at least one crush tube for limiting the amount of impact load applied to the vehicle structure after the at least one shear tab shears in response to occurrence of the vehicle impact event.

Abstract: Typical composite panels are brittle and unable to support transverse pressure loads that might be imposed on the panels. For example, the use of typical panels around fuel tanks of a vehicle are unable to support transverse pressure loads that might be imposed on the fuel tanks during a crash of the vehicle or a ballistic impact to the fuel tanks. In the embodiments described herein, panels include face sheets that are bonded to a foam core. The foam core includes a corrugated core sheet that is formed from a highly ductile material, such as Polyethylene or Aluminum. When a transverse pressure load is imposed on the panel, core crush of the foam occurs as the core sheet elongates from its original corrugated shape to a curve shape during deformation. This allows the panel to dissipate the energy of the transverse pressure load applied to the panel.

Abstract: An active landing gear damping system and method for decelerating a vehicle during a terrain impact event, such as an aircraft landing or crash. The system monitors aircraft state data and terrain information to predict an impact of the vehicle with the terrain. The system can then determine a target damper force for each landing gear of the vehicle and a predicted damper velocity at the time of impact. Each landing gear can include an adjustable damper valve, wherein adjustment of the damper valves varies the damping coefficient of the respective dampers. The system can adjust valves of the respective dampers to provide the target force based on the predicted damper velocity. After an impact begins, the system can continuously monitor and adjust the valve to maintain the target force.

Abstract: An inversion-formed double-walled tube includes an outer tube having an outer wall thickness, an inner tube disposed inside the outer tube and having an inner wall thickness, and a transition portion connecting the inner tube and the outer tube. In this arrangement, at least one of the inner and outer wall thicknesses varies along a length of the double-walled tube. The inversion-formed double-walled tube may be configured as an inversion tube type energy absorber and as an energy absorbing inversion tube assembly.
