COMPOSITE FIBROUS TUBE ENERGY ABSORBER Abstract of the Disclosure High velocity impact landing forces are attenuated in apparatus utilizing an energy absorbing tube of composite, fibrous material, that is, a fiber reinforced plastic. The energy absorbing tube is disposed in force transmit- ting relation between an anvil disposed at one end and structure for applying a force to the opposite end of the tube to provide force attenuating apparatus. The tube is progressively crushed onto the anvil by the force apply- ing structure to dissipate energy. The force attenuating apparatus is used in an energy absorbing seat to provide occupant protection against high impact forces. Other uses of the force attenuating apparatus are landing gear mechanisms and vehicle bumper systems.
