    摘要: The present invention includes an article of manufacture with a layer with a plurality of corrugations to form an energy absorbing structure, where each corrugation has a floor and two walls connecting the floor to the base layer and the length of each corrugation is longer than the widest width of the corrugation. The present invention also includes an energy absorbing structure with a multi-layer energy absorber having a layer with a plurality of surface features and a second layer with a second plurality of surface features wherein the surface features of one layer are nested within the surface features of the other layer such that the base layers are adjacent to each other. The present invention also includes a single step method of manufacturing the energy absorbers including forming a two layer material in a single step. Further, the present invention includes a method of absorbing impact energy that involves generating heat through friction between surface features on a pair of base layers.

    摘要: Composite structural parts such as energy-absorbing automotive parts are made by inserting a thermoplastic energy-absorbing component (3) into a mold (10), injecting a substrate polymer (4) into the mold, and molding the energy-absorbing component and the substrate polymer to form a composite (25) in which the substrate polymer is affixed to the energy-absorbing component without use of an intervening adhesive, and the structure of the energy-absorbing component is substantially preserved. The parts are made without secondary foam tooling, and thus can be produced at lower cost. In preferred embodiments, the substrate polymer and the energy-absorbing component are made from the same polymeric material, or different polymeric materials that are classified the same for recycling purposes. This allows scrap, used and damaged parts to be recycled without the need to separate them into their component parts.
