"ENERGY ABSORBING SUPPORT" ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An energy absorbing support formed of a composite coil defining a core and a tubular sheath with the sheath being formed of a material having a higher elastic yield strain limit than that of the core. The coil defines a first portion and a second portion with a support of the coil dis- posed intermediate the first and second portions. Structure is provided for applying a preselected preload to the coil. The coil materials are preselected to maintain elastic and damp- ing characteristics at cryogenic temperatures, such as below -150°F. The support is adapted for use in rigorous environments such as encountered in the space shuttle and the like, and pro- vides lightweight, long life, resilient support of critical elements, such as piping and the like, therein.
