The present invention generally relates to devices and methods for absorbing kinetic energy. In particular, the present device is well suited for use in an automobile door, where it can be positioned for the purpose of absorbing the energy of a side-impact collision. In one embodiment, the device includes a first mass, a shell, and a plate, with the shell being disposed between the mass and plate. Both the first mass and shell are preferably constructed from deformable materials, allowing them to absorb energy during an impact. By absorbing the energy through deformation, the present device reduces the amount of energy that is transmitted through the door and thus reduces the amount of energy that may be transmitted to the occupants of the vehicle.
L'invention concerne, de manière générale, des dispositifs et des procédés d'absorption de l'énergie cinétique. Plus particulièrement, le dispositif de l'invention convient aux portes d'automobiles sur lesquelles il peut être monté pour absorber l'énergie cinétique en cas de choc latéral. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif comprend une première masse, une coque, et une plaque ; la coque étant placée entre la masse et la plaque. De préférence, la première masse et la coque sont composées de matériaux déformables qui leur permettent d'absorber l'énergie lors d'un choc. En absorbant le choc par déformation, ce dispositif réduit la quantité d'énergie transmise par la porte et, par conséquent, l'énergie transmise aux occupants du véhicule.
