Abstract:
A crash cushion includes a plurality of resilient, self-restoring tubes each having a center axis and an interior surface. At least some of the tubes are positioned such that respective ones of the center axes are spaced apart in a longitudinal direction. The center axis of at least one tube is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis extending in the longitudinal direction, with the tube defining a diametral plane intersecting and oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The center axis of the tube lies in the diametral plane. One or more segments are positioned in the tube, with the segments, or portions thereof, disposed on opposite sides of the interior surface of the tube. Each of the segments or portions is symmetrically secured to the tube relative to the diametral plane, with the tube being substantially open between the opposing segments.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an impact attenuator for vehicles, including an energy absorbing device (8) for decelerating forces, comprising a housing, at least two pins (13) arranged in the housing which are arranged in parallel to each other in the housing, as well as a metallic, elongated draw element (14), which can be positioned within the housing such that it extends between and in contact with the pins, wherein the pins and the draw element are positioned such that a change of direction appears on the draw element when passing by each pin such that at mutual moving of the draw element and the housing in relation to each other, the movement is decelerated due to deformation of the draw element at passage of each pin. The pins (13) and the draw element (14) are positioned such that the draw element obtains a change of direction of at least 90° when passing at least two of the pins. The impact attenuator comprises a beam (3) and a collision catcher (9), which is connected to the beam and displaceable along its outer side, wherein one of the energy absorbing device (8) or the draw element (14) is connected to the collision catcher and displaceable together with it, while the other of these is fixedly connected to the ground or a fixed structure such that at a possible collision with the collision catcher, this is decelerated due to the mutual movement between the energy absorbing device and the draw element.

Abstract:
Crash attenuator guardrail apparatus includes an impact head and a backstop having a cable and guardrails supported by guardrail supports located between the impact head and the backstop. Frictional forces are applied to the cable to control and resist movement of the impact head toward the backstop and provide lateral resistance. The guardrail supports include a base having break away structure and brace members having bends and which shorten or lengthen to absorb energy resulting from vehicle impact.
Abstract:
본 발명은 소프트 재질의 압연관 표면 드래그(drag)에 의한 운동 마찰력과 압연력을 이용하여 차량의 동적 운동에너지가 흡수되는 동안 변위(Displacement)가 지속적으로 길게 확보되면서 차량 및 탑승자가 받는 최대 감가속도를 완만하게 유지되도록 함으로써 PHD의 평가지수가 탑승자의 안전지수의 요건을 충족되게 하여 치명적인 충격으로부터 인명을 안전하게 보호하고자함에 그 목적이 있다. 이를 달성하기위한 구성은 차량의 동적 운동에너지가 가장 큰 압연관의 선단부에는 제1 드래그 운동마찰력 유도구의 운동 마찰력에 의하여 최대 감가속도가 20g이하가 되도록 한 후 압연관의 중간부에는 제1 드래그 운동마찰력 유도구보다 큰 운동마찰계수(μ 2 > μ 1 )를 갖는 제2 드래그 운동마찰압연력 유도구에 의하여 운동에너지가 대폭 감소되게 하면서 아직 남아있는 운동에너지의 잔량은 스톱퍼 길이(S)에 설치된 제2, 제3 드래그 운동마찰압연력 유도구에 의하여 모두 흡수되도록 한 구성이다.
