A concept of smart multiaxial impact damper made of vacuum packed particles

The conceptual design of smart crash energy absorber made of Vacuum Packed Particles (VPP) is presented in this work. This structure is composed of granular material inside a plastomer sleeve. The absorber can change the flexural stiffness and as a result the amount of dissipated energy depending on...
