    摘要: A B-shaped reinforcement beam is formed from a sheet of material to include vertically spaced upper and lower tubular sections, with a channel-shaped rib formed centrally in the unsupported portion of the front wall over each tube section. The ribs acts to stiffen and stabilize the front wall, causing the actual bending strength of the B beam to be much closer to expected theoretical values. In one form, the ribs have a vertical dimension about 33%-50% of a height of the tubular sections and a depth of about 50%-100% of the rib's height. The rib is particularly effective when the material is less than 2.2 mm, more than 80 KSI, and/or has a significant height-to-depth ratio such as 3:1.

    摘要: A crush member for a vehicle having frame rails comprising a tube having a first end configured to be connected to the frame rails of the vehicle and a second end configured to be connected to a bumper. The tube has a constant thickness from the first end to the second end. The tube further has a taper along a axial direction from the first end to the second end, the tube having a larger cross section at the first end and a smaller cross section at the second end. The tube is configured to crush to absorb impact energy upon an axial or near axial load.

    摘要: An energy-absorbing system includes a tube made of a continuous material, such as heat-treatable steel. The tube has first and second ring sections connected by an intermediate section. In one aspect, the intermediate section is flared and/or pinched to cause one tube section to predictably telescopingly roll upon impact. In another aspect, one section is annealed to optimize elongation and yield properties to facilitate rolling upon impact. By this arrangement, upon the bumper system receiving a longitudinal impact, the first and second ring sections telescopingly collapse with a predictable and consistent rolling collapse. Methods related to the above are also disclosed.

    摘要: A bumper system for a vehicle comprising a stamped metal component and a second polymeric component fixedly attached to form a beam with particular localized energy absorber characteristics. The metal component is formed from a sheet and has a thickness in a width direction along a majority of the length when in a vehicle-mounted position. The second polymeric component engages a face of the first component and is rigidly attached to the first component in at least several locations along the length to form a structural beam with the first component. The second polymeric component has sufficient structure to form an integral part of the structural beam and interconnected walls extending in the width direction to form energy-absorbing cells at centered and corner locations configured to crush and absorb energy upon a vehicle impact.

    摘要: An energy management system comprising a longitudinally extending beam including a first beam portion and a second beam portion. A first one of the first beam portion and the second beam portion has a first face, a first side wall and a second side wall. A second one of the first beam portion and the second beam portion has a second face. The first side wall has a first U-shaped section spaced from the first face and the second side wall has a second U-shaped section spaced from the first face. The first side wall rolls to enlarge the first U-shaped section and the second side wall rolls to enlarge the second U-shaped section during an impact force directed against the first face of the first beam portion or the second face of the second beam portion.
