摘要: A multi-sectional, modular energy absorber (10) comprises one or more modules, which have absorbing units (12). Some a first section (14) and second (16) that are united like clamshell to form the unit There is means for locating sections (18) in relation each other. First flange (20,22) extend from at least some of sections. coordinating (24) having topography including number (n) apertures (26) defined therein, where n an integer ≥ 0. At include upper perimeter (28), lower (30) intermediate wall (32) extending therebetween with (m) breaches before impact, m
