Method of determining impact severity and adaptive impact attenuation

摘要: An adaptive energy absorption system for a vehicle seat is disclosed, utilizing an absorber or variable profile (VPEA) mitigating occupant injury due to extreme movement (e.g., during shock event), and/or vibration experienced by of the normal operating conditions. The achieves aforementioned objectives wide range weights and load levels. alternate configuration dual-goal also disclosed that enables both mitigation isolation.
